+English Country Dance devised by Kynaston in 1698. It was adapted by Andrew Shaw in 2000.
+There is little about the song or tune characteristics, however, that would indicate Scottish provenance or origins. The first stanza goes:

+The bonny Gray-eyed Morn began for to peep

+I took the Wings of Love and to him flew,
+For I had fancy'd all my Heaven was there.</code>
