Thy bosom's heaving whiteness With beauty overbrims, Like swan upon the waters When gentliest it swims; Like cotton on the moorland, Thy skin is soft and fine. Thy neck is like the sea gull, When dipping in the brine. Chorus. — O! my bonnie Mary, &c. 71 72 THE UNIVERSAL NAME. The locks about thy dainty ear, Do richly curl and twine; Dame Nature rarely grew a wealth Of ringlets, like to thine. There needs no hand of hireling, To twist and plait thy hair. But where it grew, it winds and falls, In... wavey beauty there. Chorus. — O! my bonnie Mary, &c. Like snow upon the mountains, Thy teeth are pure and white; Thy breath is like the cinnamon Thy mouth buds with delight; Thy cheeks are like the cherries. Thine eyelids soft and fair. And smooth thy brow, untaught to frown, Beneath thy golden hair. Chorus. — O! my bonnie Mary, &c. The pomp of mighty Kaisers Our state doth not surpass, When 'neath the lofty coppice We lie upon the grass; The purple flowers around us Outspread their rich array, Where the lusty mountain streamlet, Is leaj)ing from the brae.
