HER LIP IS O' THE ROSE'S HUE.

Her lip is o' the rose's hue,

Like links o' goud her hair,

Her e'e is o' the azure blue,

An' love beams ever there;

Her step is like the mountain goat's

That climbs the stately Ben,

Her voice sweet as the mavis' notes

That haunt her native glen.

There is a sweet wee hazel bower

Where woodbine blossoms twine,

There Jeanie, ae auspicious hour,

Consented to be mine;

An' there we meet whene'er we hae

An idle hour to spen',

An' Jeanie ne'er has rued the day

She met me in the glen.

Oh bricht, bricht are the evenin' beams,

An' sweet the pearly dew,

An' lovely is the star that gleams

In gloamin's dusky brow;

But brichter, sweeter, lovelier far,

Aboon a' human ken,

Is my sweet pearl--my lovely star--

My Jeanie o' the glen.
