O, wert thou in the cauld blast
On yonder lea, on yonder lea, My plaidie to the angry airt,
I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee; Or did Misfortune's bitter storms
Around thee blaw, around thee blaw, Thy bield should be my bosom,
To share it a', to share it a'.
Or were I in the wildest waste,
Sae black and bare, sae black and bare, The desert were a paradise,
If thou wert there, if thou wert there; Or were I monarch of the globe,
Wi' thee to reign, wi' thee to reign, The brightest jewel in my crown
Wad be my queen, wad be my queen. |
