Of A' The Airts The Wind Can Blaw

Of A' The Airts The Wind Can Blaw 注释标题 Written during a separation from Mrs. Burns in their honeymoon. Burns was preparing a home at Ellisland; Mrs. Burns was at Mossgiel.—Lang.

    Tune—“Miss Admiral Gordon's Strathspey.”

    Of a' the airts the wind can blaw,

    I dearly like the west,

    For there the bonie lassie lives,

    The lassie I lo'e best:

    There's wild-woods grow, and rivers row,

    And mony a hill between:

    But day and night my fancys' flight

    Is ever wi' my Jean.

    I see her in the dewy flowers,

    I see her sweet and fair:

    I hear her in the tunefu' birds,

    I hear her charm the air:

    There's not a bonie flower that springs,

    By fountain, shaw, or green;

    There's not a bonie bird that sings,

    But minds me o' my Jean.
