	ANNIE LAURIE.
	2. *Her brow is like the snaw-drift, Her neck is like the swan, Her face it is the fairest That e'er the sun shone on--That e'er the sun shone on, And dark blue is her e'e: And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me doon and dee.	3. Like dew on the gowan lying Is the fa' o' her fairy feet; And, like winds in summer sighing, Her voice is low and sweet— Her voice is low and sweet, And she's a' the world to me; And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me doon and dee.
	The first four lines of this stanza are borrowed from an old version of » John Anderson, my Joe."
