Wild Mountain Thyme
EMMA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now the summer time is coming
And the trees are blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather

Will you go, lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain
And all around the bower
I'll pile flowers from the mountain

If my true love, she won't have me
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather

Now the summertime is coming
And thre trees are blooming

And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather

Overall Meaning

The titular mountain thyme is found growing around the heather, acting as a symbol of the natural beauty of the mountainous regions. The lyrics then turn to an invitation to someone, referred to as lassie, to come along and gather the thyme together. This act represents the communal aspect of life in the mountains and the importance of shared experiences.

The second half of the lyrics focus on a declaration of love and devotion. The singer promises to build a bower for their beloved by a fountain and decorate it with flowers from the mountain. Even if their love is not reciprocated, they will find another to share in the beauty of the mountain and gather the thyme. The final verse serves as a reiteration of the beauty of summertime, encapsulating the joy and wonder that the season can bring.

Line by Line Meaning

Now the summer time is coming
As the warm season approaches

And the trees are blooming
The plants are displaying new life

And the wild mountain thyme
The unrestrained herb used in the countryside

Grows around the blooming heather
Develops near the flowering vegetation

Will you go, lassie, will you go?
Are you willing to join me, young lady?

And we'll all go together
Everyone will join along

To pull wild mountain thyme
To extract the untamed plant

All around the blooming heather
In the environs of the flowering vegetation

Will you go, lassie, go?
Will you come along, young lady?

I will build my love a bower
I will create a shelter for my sweetheart

By yon clear and crystal fountain
Near that pure and transparent natural source
