Yonder comes Peggy to welcome May morning;
Dark waves her haffet locks owre her white brow;
O! light, light she’s dancing keen on the smooth gowany green,
Barefit and kilted half up to the knee;
While Jeanie is sleeping still, I’ll rin and sport my fill,—
I was asleep, and ye’ve waken’d me!

I’ll rin and whirl her round; Jeanie is sleeping sound;
Kiss her frae lug to lug; nae ane can see;
Sweet, sweet’s her hinny mou.—Will, I’m no sleeping now:
I was asleep, but ye waken’d me.
Laughing till like to drap, swith to my Jean I lap,
Kiss’d her ripe roses, and blest her black e’e;
And aye since, whane’er we meet, sing, for the sound is sweet,
Ha me mohatel, na dousku me.

Bonnie Lady Ann.

There’s kames o’ hinney ’tween my luve’s lips,
An’ gowd amang her hair,
Her breasts are lapt in a holie veil,
Nae mortal een keek there.
What lips dare kiss; or what hand dare touch,
Or what arm of luve dare span,
