494. Jean
OF a’ the airts the wind can blaw, | |
I dearly like the west, | |
For there the bonnie lassie lives, | |
The lassie I lo’e best: | |
There wild woods grow, and rivers row, | 5 |
And monie a hill between; | |
But day and night my fancy’s flight | |
Is ever wi’ my Jean. | |
|
I see her in the dewy flowers, | |
I see her sweet and fair: | 10 |
I hear her in the tunefu’ birds, | |
I hear her charm the air: | |
There ‘s not a bonnie flower that springs | |
By fountain, shaw, or green; | |
There ‘s not a bonnie bird that sings, | 15 |
But minds me o’ my Jean. | |
