O this is no my ain lassie

fair tho' the assie be,

O weel ken I my ain lassie,

kind love is in her e'e

I see a form, I see a face

ye well may wi- the fairest place.

To me it wants the witching grace,

the kind love that's in her e’e

This is no, &c.

She's bonnie, blooming, straight and tall,

and lang has had my heart in thrall,

And aye it charms my very saul,

The kind love that s in her e‘e,

This is no &c.

A thief sae pawkie is my Jean,

to steal a blink by a‘ unseen;

But Gleg as light as lover's e'en,

when kind love is in the e'e

This is.no, &c

It may escape the courtly sparks,

It may escape the learned clerks;

But weel the watching lover marks,

The kind love that's in her e‘e

This is no, &c.
