She's bonny, blooming, straight, and tali,
And lang has had my heart in thrall ;
And ay it charms my very saul,
The kind love that's in her ee.
O this is no, &c.
A thief sae pawkie is my Jean,
To steal a blink, by a' unseen ;
But gleg as light are lovers' een,
When kind love is in the ee.
O this is no, &c.
It may escape the courtly sparks,
It may escape the learned clarks ;
But weel the watching lover marks
The kind love that's in the ee a
O this is no, &c.
