BONNY JEAN. T H E R E was a lass and she was fair, A t kirk and market to be seen, W h e n a* the fairest maids w e r e m e t , T h e fairest maid was bonny Jean. A n d ay she w r o u g h t her mither's wark, A n d ay she sung sae merrilie: T h e blythest bird upon the bush, H a d ne'er a lighter heart than she. But hawks will r o b the tender j o y s T h a t bless the little lintwhite's n e s t : �7 A n d frost will A n d love fairest flowers, the soundest r e s t Y o u n g R o b i e was the bra west lad, T h e flower and pride o f a' the g l e n ; A n d he had o w s e n , sheep and k y e , A n d wanton nagies nine or ten. H e gaed w i ' Jeanie to the tryst, H e d a n c ' d wi* Jeanie o n the d o w n ; A n d lang ere witless Jeanie wist H e r heart was tint, her peace was s t o w n . A s in the b o s o m o* the stream T h e m o o n - b e a m dwells at d e w y e'en ; S o trembling pure, was tender love W i t h i n the breast o> b o n n y Jean. A n d n o w she works her mither's w a r k , A n d ay she sighs w i ' care and pain ; Y e t wist na what her ail might be, O r what wad mak her w e e l again. B u t did na Jeanie's heart ioup light, A n d did na j o y blink in her e ? e, A s R o b i e tauid a tale o f love A e e'ening o n the lily lea ? T h e sun was sinking in the w e s t , T h e birds sang sweet in ilka g r o v e & His cheek to her's he f o n d l y presfc* A n d whispered this his tale o* l o r e : �8 O Jeanie fair I lo'e thee d e a r ; O canst thou think to fancy me ! O r wilt thou leave thy mither's cot, A n d learn to tent the farms w i ' me ? A t barn or byre thou shalt na drudge, O r naething else to trouble thee \ But stray a m o n g the heather bells* A n d tent the waving c o r n wi' me. N o w what could artless Jeanie d o ? She had na will to say him na ; A t length she blushed a sweet consent* A n d love was ay between them twa A WORD TO THE WISE. I love y o u , by heaven, what can I say m o r e ? T h e n set not my passion a-coolfcrg; If you yield not at o n c e I must e'en give thee o ' e r , For I am but a n o v i c e at f o o l i n g . W h a t nay love wants in w o r d s , it shall make up in deeds, T h e n w h y should w e waste time in stuff, child ? A p e r f o r m a n c e , you k n o w w e l l , a promise e x ceeds, A n d a w o r d to the wise is e n o u g h , child.
