come, let me take thee to my breast
come, let me take thee to my breast,
and pledge we ne'er shall sunder;
and i shall spurn as vilest dust
the world's wealth and grandeur:
and do i hear my jeanie own
that equal transports move her?
i ask for dearest life alone,
that i may live to love her.
thus, in my arms, wi' a' her charms,
i clasp my countless treasure;
i'll seek nae main o' heav'n to share,
tha sic a moment's pleasure:
and by thy e'en sae bonie blue,
i swear i'm thine for ever!
and on thy lips i seal my vow,
and break it shall i never.
