“ Wilt thou be my dearie?
When sorrow wrings thy gentle heart,
O wilt thou let me cheer me;
By the treasure of my soul,
That's the love I bear thee!
I swear and vow, that only thou
Shall ever be my Dearie. ”

“ Who now would rather trust that smile,
⁠And die with thee than live without thee.
Fare thee well!—I'll think of thee!
⁠Thou leav'st me many a bitter token;
For see distracting woman! see,
⁠My peace is gone, my heart is broken.

“ Gin body strength, then I'll ne'er start
An this my way sae far awa.
How true is love to pure desert,
So love to her, sae far awa:
And nocht can heal my bosom's smart,
While, Oh, she is sae far awa. ”
