Poems and Songs of R Come, Let Me Take Thee To My Breast

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.
