Sae flaxen were her ringletsB
Her eyebrows of a darker hueC
Bewitchingly o'er archingD
Twa laughin' een o' bonnie blueC
Her smiling sae wylingD
Wad make a wretch forget his woeE
What pleasure what treasureF
Unto these rosy lips to growE
Such was my Chloris' bonnie faceB
When first her bonnie face I sawB
And ay my Chloris' dearest charmG
She says she lo'es me best of a'H

-
Like harmony her motionI
Her pretty ankle is a spy-
Betraying fair proportionI
Wad mak a saint forget the sky-
Sae warming sae charmingD
Her faultless form and gracefu' airJ
Ilk feature auld NatureF
Declar'd that she could do nae mairJ
Hers are the willing chains o' loveK
By conquering beauty's sovereign lawB
And ay my Chloris' dearest charmG
She says she lo'es me best of a'H
-
III-
-
Let others love the cityL
And gaudy show at sunny noonM
Gie me the lonely valleyL
The dewy eve and rising moonM
Fair beaming and streamingD
Her silver light the boughs amangD
While falling recallingD
The amorous thrush concludes his sangD
There dearest Chloris wilt thou roveN
By wimpling burn and leafy shawB
And hear my vows o' truth and loveK
And say thou lo'es me best of a'H
