In shape and air, wha can compare
Wi' my sweet lovely Jean?
O blaw, ye westlin winds, blaw saft
Among the leafy trees;
Wi' gentle gale, frae muir and dale,
Bring hame the laden bees,
And bring the lassie back to me
That's ay sae neat and clean;
Ae blink o' her wad banish care,
Sae lovely is my Jean.
What sighs and vows, amang the knowes
Hae past atween us twa!
How fain to meet, how wae to part
That day she gaed awa !
The powers aboon can only ken,
To whom the heart is seen,
That nane can be sae dear to me,
As my sweet lovely Jean.Burns.
HALUKET MEG.
Air—"The mucking o' Geordie's byre."
Meg, muckin' at Gordie's byre,
Wrought as gin her judgment was wrang ;
Ilk daud o' the scartle struck fire,
While, loud as a lavrock, she sang!
