THE SOUTER'S DOCHTER.
THE SONG WRITTEN
BY BURNS.

'>
Wilt thou be my dearie ?
When sorrow wrings thy gentle heart,
wilt thou let me cheer thee ?
By the treasure of my soul,
That's the love I bear thee !
1 swear and vow that only thou
Shall ever be my dearie ;
Only thou, I swear and vow,
Shall ever be my dearie.
Lassie, say thou loes me ;
Or if thou wiltna be my ain,
Sayna thou'lt refuse me.
If it winna, canna be,
Thou for thine may choose me ;
Let me, lassie, quickly die,
Trusting that thou loes me ;
Lassie, let me quickly die,
Trusting that thou loes me !
