8 THE LASS WI' THE BONNIE BLUE EEN.

Written by Richard Ryan. Arranged and Sung by Sinclair.

O, saw ye the lass wi' the bonnie blue een? Her smile is the sweetest that ever was seen, Her cheek like the rose is, but fresher, I ween, She's the loveliest lassie that trips on the green. The home of my love is below in the valley, Where wild flowers welcome the wandering bee; But the sweetest of flowers in that spot that is seen, Is the maid that I love, wi' the bonnie blue een. O saw ye the lass, &c.

When night overshadows her cot in the glen, She'll steal out to meet her loved Donald again ; And when the moon shines on the valley so green, I'll welcome the lass wi' the bonnie blue een. As the dove that has wandered away from his sweetest, Returns to the mate his fond heart loves the best, I'll fly from the world's false and vanishing scene, To my dear one, the lass wi' the bonnie blue een. O saw ye the lass, &c.

I HAVE FRUIT, I HAVE FLOWERS.

A Cavatina. Sung by Miss Love Music by Wade.

I have fruit, I have flowers, That were gathered in the bowers, Amid the blooming hills so high, so high. I have fruit, I have flowers, The daughters of the showers, of the dews and the rills, will you buy ? I've a young nightingale, That by moonlight in the vale, So fondly to a rose his love did sigh; I stole within their bower, Caught the silly bird and flower'; Will you buy the pretty lovers, will you buy? I have fruit, &c.
