o wert thou the cauld bst
o wert thou the cauld bst,
on yonder lea, on yonder lea,

i&039;d shelter thee, i&039;d shelter thee;
or did isfortune&039;s bitter stors
around thee bw, around thee bw,
thy bield should be y bo,
to share it a&039;, to share it a&039;
or were i the wildest waste,
sae bck and bare, sae bck and bare,
the desert were a paradise,
if thou wert there, if thou wert there;
or were i onarch o&039; the globe,
wi&039; thee to reign, wi&039; thee to reign,
the brightest jewel y crown
wad be y een, wad be y een
