45. My Girl she's Airy: A Fragment by Robert Burns

 MY girl she’s airy, she’s buxom and gay;
Her breath is as sweet as the blossoms in May;
 A touch of her lips it ravishes quite:
She’s always good natur’d, good humour’d, and free;
She dances, she glances, she smiles upon me;
 I never am happy when out of her sight.
