BONIE LESLEY
(Robert Burns)
O, Saw ye bonie Lesley,
As she gaed o`er the Border?
She`s gane, like Alexander,
To spread her conquests farther!
To see her is to love her,
And love but her for ever;
For Nature made her what she is,
And never made anither!
Thou airt a queen, fair Lesley-
Thy subjects, we before thee!
Thou art divine, fair Lesley-
The hearts o` men adore thee.
The Deil he could na skaith thee,
Or aught that wad belang thee,
He`d look into thy bonie face,
And say:-`I canna wrang thee!`
The Powers aboon will tent thee,
Misfortune sha`na steer thee:
Thou`rt like themsels sae lovely,
That ill they`ll ne`er let near thee
Return again, fair Lesley,
Return to Caledonie!
That we may brag we hae a lass
There`s nane again sae bonie.
Tune: The Colliers Dochter (339)
