 THIS IS NO MINE AIN LASSIE.

O this is no mine ain lassie,

Fair though the lassie be;

O weel ken I mine ain lassie,

Kind love is in her be.

I see a form, I see a face,

Ye weel may wi’ the fairest place:

It wants, to me, the witching grace,

The kind love that's in her ee.

O this is no, &c.

She’s bonnie blooming straight,and tall.

And lang has had my heart in thrall;

And ay it charms my very saul,

The kind love that’s in her ee.

O this is no, &c.

A thief sae pawkie is my Jean,

To steal a blink, by a’ unseen;

But gleg as light are lovers een,

When kind love is in the ee,

O this is no, &c.
