Chorus. This is no my ain lassie,
Fair iho'' 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 bonie, blooming, straight, and tall,
And lang has had my heart in thrall ;
And ay it charms my very saul,
The kind love that 's in her e'e.
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 e'e.
It may escape the courtly sparks,
It may escape the learned clerks ;
But well the watching lover marks
The kind love that 's in her e'e.
