The bonnie wee thing
Haydn, Joseph
Chorus
Bonnie wee thing, canie wee thing,
Lovely wee thing, was thou mine;
I wad wear thee in my bosom,
Least my Jewel I should tine. -
Wishfully I look and languish
In that bonie face o' thine;
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish,
Least my wee thing be na mine. -
Bonnie wee thing, canie wee thing...
Wit, and Grace, and Love, and Beauty,
In ae constellation shine;
To adore thee is my duty,
Goddess o' this soul o' mine!
