Subject: RE: Alternative 'Flowers of forest'????
There are 3 18th century songs of that title.

Jane Elliot's, "I've heard them lilting at the ewe milking" [from her MS on my website, and in Stenhouse's Illustration to The Scots Musical Museum, #63].
Mrs. Cockburn's, "I've seen the smiling of fortune beguiling". [Stenhouse's Illustrations to SMM #63.]
Mrs. John Hunter's (nee Ann Home), "Adieu, ye streams that smoothly glide" [SMM #63]
