I lo’e ye for those cheeks, my lassie,

O’ sweetest tinge o’ rosy hue;

An’ O, I lo’e ye, dearest lassie,

For those twa cannie e’en o’ blue.

I lo’e ye for that form, my lassie,

Like to the deer’s, sae fit’ o’ grace;

I lo’e ye for that smile, my lassie,

That plays across thy charming face.

But what I lo’e still more, my lassie,

Is that which is worth mair to gain:
