My Love she's but a Lassie yet.

 | The Works of The Ettrick Shepherd |  |
My Love she's but a Lassie yet.
My love she's but a lassie yet,
A lightsome lovely lassie yet;
It scarce wad do,
To sit an' woo
Down by the stream sae glassy yet.
But there's a braw time coming yet,
When we may gang a-roaming yet;
An' hint wi' glee
O' joys to be,
When fa's the modest gloaming yet.
A lightsome lovely lassie yet;
It scarce wad do,
To sit an' woo
Down by the stream sae glassy yet.
428
When we may gang a-roaming yet;
An' hint wi' glee
O' joys to be,
When fa's the modest gloaming yet.
She's neither proud nor saucy yet,
She's neither plump nor gaucy yet;
But just a jinking,
Bonnie blinking,
Hilty-skilty lassie yet.
But oh, her artless smile's mair sweet
Than hinny or than marmalete!
An' right or wrang,
Ere it be lang,
I'll bring her to a parley yet.
She's neither plump nor gaucy yet;
But just a jinking,
Bonnie blinking,
Hilty-skilty lassie yet.
But oh, her artless smile's mair sweet
Than hinny or than marmalete!
An' right or wrang,
Ere it be lang,
I'll bring her to a parley yet.
I'm jealous o' what blesses her,
The very breeze that kisses her,
The flowery beds
On which she treads,
Though wae for ane that misses her.
Then oh to meet my lassie yet,
Up in yon glen sae grassy yet;
For all I see
Are nought to me,
Save her that's but a lassie yet!
The very breeze that kisses her,
The flowery beds
On which she treads,
Though wae for ane that misses her.
Then oh to meet my lassie yet,
Up in yon glen sae grassy yet;
For all I see
Are nought to me,
Save her that's but a lassie yet!
