Classic Poem

1

Wher hae ye been sae far awae
My fair creature?
I've been by the mountain side
Whar the siller burnie glide
I've been looking far, and wide
Farest creature

2

And what whar ye lurking there
Dearest creature
I leuk'd ayont the sunny know
Where the yellow gowans grow
And then she blush'd and turn'd to go
Dearest creature.

3

And what gaed ye, to leuk for there
My fairest creature
I gaed to leuk ayont the know
For aine I saw some days ago
In tartan plaid fra' top to toe
And brown his feature.

4

He leuk'd sa' kind the tother e'en
And said fair creature
My heart leap'd fra' my bosom clean
I blush'd but it whar a' unseen
As mountain brere that blooms at e'en
Brown whar his feature.

5

Then I'm the leuky mon to sae
Fairest creature
That bright ene I think on't well
I clasp'd her waist 'twas me mysell
What I might do, I may not tell
I kiss'd the fairest creature.
