This piece is a combination of two traditional Scottish tunes: Wild Mountain Thyme, sung by tenor-bass chorus, and the popular Scottish reel Whiskey Before Breakfast, played as a counterpoint by the violin. The two tunes come together to highlight the playful nature of Robert Tannahill's text, which speaks of going out to "pluck wild mountain thyme" with one's love in the romantic blush of spring.
