Robert Burns - Bonie Lesley
Work rating: Medium

O saw ye bonie Lesley
      As she gaed o`er the Border?
     She `s gane, like Alexander,
      To spread her conquests farther.
                                                       
     To see her is to love her,
      And love but her for ever;
     For Nature made her what she is,
      And ne`er made sic anither!
                                                 
     Thou art a queen, fair Lesley,
      Thy subjects we, before thee:
     Thou art divine, fair Lesley,
      The hearts o` men adore thee.

     The Deil he couldna scaith thee,
      Or aught that wad belang thee;
     He`d look into thy bonnie face
      And say, `I canna wrang thee!`

     The Powers aboon will tent thee,
      Misfortune sha`na steer thee:
     Thou`rt like themsel` sae lovely,
      That ill they`ll ne`er let near thee.

     Return again, fair Lesley,
      Return to Caledonie!
     That we may brag we hae a lass
      There `s nane again sae bonie!
