The month of July.
[Fragment from Herd's Collection.]
There gaed a fair maiden out to walk
In a sweet morning of July;
She was gay, bonnie, coy, and young,
But met wi' a lad unruly.
He took her by the lily-white hand,
And swore he loo'd her truly;
The man forgot but the maid thought on;
O it was in the month of July!
