I ken there 's Nelly o' the bog Would her broad acres gie, If she could only get a glance 0' his soft pawky e'e. Weel do I ken his heart 's my ain, Nane fairer does he see ; And often has he told me this Beneath the trysting-tree. J Tis true he has nae acres broad, Nor riches yet has he ; THE TRYSTING-TREE. 75 But then he has a true, leal heart, An' that 's mair dear to me. I wadna gie a stowan glance Frae his saft, sparklin' e'e, To be a queen, and change my place Beneath the trysting-tree. Aw...a wi' wealth, awa wi' pelf — Can they mak' hearts agree 1 If for their sake we sell our love, Can there true pleasure be 1 Gie me the kind, the loving heart, That shines out through the e'e ; And such a smile I Ve often seen Beneath the trysting-tree. Now lordly dames may laugh at this, Nor think that love could be, Or noble thoughts rise in a heart Wi' naething else tae gie. It 's nae the shining dust o' earth That mak's the man to me ; But noble thoughts and burning words I 've heard beneath yon tree.
