Song—The Bonie Wee Thing

Chorus.—bonie wee thing, cannie wee thing,
  Lovely wee thing, wert thou mine,
I wad wear thee in my bosom,
  Lest my jewel it should tine.

Wishfully i look and languish
  In that bonie face o' thine,
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish,
  Lest my wee thing be na mine.
                Bonie wee thing, &c.

Wit, and Grace, and Love, and Beauty,
  In ae constellation shine;
To adore thee is my duty,
  Goddess o' this soul o' mine!
                Bonie wee thing, &c.
