GIN a body meet a body Comin' through the rye, Gina body kiss a body, Need a body cry? Every lassie has her laddie, -- Ne'er a ane hae I; Yet a' the lads they smile at me When comin' through the rye. Amang the train there is a swain I dearly lo'e mysel'; But whaur his hame, or what his name, I dinna care to tell. Gin a body meet a body Comin' frae the town, Gin a body greet a body, Need a body frown? Every lassie has her laddie, -- Ne'er a ane hae I; Yet a' the lads they smile at me When comin' through the rye. Amang the train there is a swain I dearly lo'e mysel'; But whaur his hame, or what his name, I dinna care to tell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PURPLE COW by FRANK GELETT BURGESS THE COCK AND THE FOX, OR THE TALE OF THE NUN'S PRIEST by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE SURPRISE AT TICONDEROGA [MAY 10, 1775] by MARY ANNA PHINNEY STANSBURY THE BIRD WITH THE COPPERY, KEEN CLAWS by WALLACE STEVENS THE BUBBLE by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM AN UNANSWERABLE APOLOGY FOR THE RICH by MARY BARBER |
