ROBIN is my ain gudeman, Now match him, carlins, gin ye can, For ilk ane whitest thinks her swan, But kind Robin lo'es me. To mak' my boast I'll e'en be bauld, For Robin lo'ed me young and auld, In simmer's heat, and winter's cauld, My kind Robin lo'es me. Robin he comes hame at e'en, Wi' pleasure glancin' in his een; He tells me a' he's heard and seen, And syne how he lo'es me. There's some ha'e land, and some ha'e gowd, Mair wad ha'e them gin they cou'd, But a' I wish o' warld's gude Is Robin aye to lo'e me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD CALLER HERRIN' by CAROLINA OLIPHANT NAIRNE |
