322. Song—The Bonie Wee Thing by Robert Burns

 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.
