And gaudy shew at sumiy ntK«t;
Gie me the lonely valley>
The dewy eve> and rising mooft'
Fair beaming, and streaming.
Her silver light the boughs amang ;
While faliingy recalling.
The amorous thrush concludes his sang
There, dearest Chloris, v/ilt thou rove
By w'impling bum and leafy shaw.
And hear my vows o' truth and' love.
And say thou lo'es me best of a'.
THIS IS NO MY AIN LASSIE,
[By Burns.}
Tund — This is no my ain house,
O THIS is 7iO my ain lassie.
Fair tho' the lassie be ;
weel ken I my ain lassie.
Kind love is in her e'e,
I see a form, I see a face.
Ye weel may wi' the fairest place :
It wants to me the witching grace.
The kind love that's in her e'e.

She's bonnie, blooming, straight, and tall,
Ancl lang has had my heart in thrall j
And ay if charms my very saul.
The kind Jove thatf» in her e'e,
this is no, &c.
