DINNA ASK ME, by JOHN DUNLOP Poet's Biography First Line: O, dinna ask me gin I lo'e ye [or, thee] Last Line: Gin he'd prove fause to me! Subject(s): Love - Beginnings | |||
O, DINNA ask me gin I lo'e ye: Troth, I daurna tell! Dinna ask me gin I lo'e ye, -- Ask it o' yoursel'. O, dinna look sae sair at me, for weel ye ken me true; O, gin ye look sae sair at me, I daurna look at you. When ye gang to yon braw braw town, And bonnier lassies see, O, dinna, Jamie, look at them, Lest ye should mind na me. For I could neve bide the lass That ye'd lo'e mair than me; And O, I'm sure my heart wad brak, Gin he'd prove fause to me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE THE YEAR THAT'S AWA' by JOHN DUNLOP |
