O LET ME IN THIS AE NIGHT.
BURNS.
Tune — O let me In this ae night.
LASSIE, art thou sleeping yet ?
Or art thou waukin', I would wit ?
For love has bound me hand and foot,
And I would fain be in, jo.
O let me in this ae night,
This ae, ae, ae night ;
For pity's sake, this ae night,
O rise and let me in, jo.
Out ower the moss, out ower the muir,
1 came this dark and drearie hour ;
And here I stand without the door,
Amid the pouring storm, jo.
O let me in, &c.
Thou hear'st the winter wind and weet ;
Nae star blinks through the driving sleet \
Tak' pity on my wearie feet,
And shield me frae the rain, jo.
O let me in, &c.
The bitter blast that round me blaws,
Unheeded howls, unheeded fa's ;
The cauldness o' thy heart's the cause
O' a' ray grief and pain, jo.
O let me in, &c.
HER ANSWER.
BURNS.
O TELL nae me of wind and rain,
Upbraid na me wi' cauld disdain !
