O
SONG.
Be/s and her /pinning Wheel*
LEEZE me on my fpinning wheel 3
O leeze me on my rock and reel ;
Frae tap to tae that deeds me bien,
And haps me fiel and warm at e'en !
I'll fet me down and fing and fpin,
While laigh defcends the fimmer fun,
Bleft wi' content, and milk and meal— ««=
leeze me on my fpinning wheel.
On ilka hand the burnies trot,
And meet below my theekit cot 5
The fcented birk and hawthorn white
Acrofs the pool their arms unite,
Alike to fcreen the birdie's neft :
And little fifties caller reft :
The fun blinks kindly in the bid',
Where, blythe I turn my fpinning wheel*
On lofty aiks the cufhats wail,
And echo cons the doolfu' tale ;
The lintwhites in the hazel brae^.
Delighted, rival ither's lays :
The craik amang the claver hay,
The paitrick whirrin o'er the ley,
The fwallow jinkin round my fhielj
Amufe me at my fpinning wheel,
Wi' fma' to fell, and lefs to buy s
Abcon diftrefs, below envy,
