Scottish Wedding Reading - O'er The Muir Amang The Heather by Jean Glover Comin' through the craigs o'Kyle, Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather, There I met a bonnie lassie Keepin' a' her flocks thegither. Says I, my dear, where is thy hame? In muir or dale, pray tell me whither? Says she, I tent the fleecy flocks That feed amang the bloomin' heather. We laid us down upon a bank, Sae warm and sunnie was the weather; She left her flocks at large to rove Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather. She charmed my heart, and aye sinsyne I couldna think on any ither; By sea and sky! She shall be mine The bonnie lass amang the heather. This reading is suitable for a civil ceremony. This is a great reading for a Scottish wedding as it is by the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns (aka Rabbie Burns) Return to Weddings - Readings index page.
