I LOVE MY LOVE

I love my love as I love my life,
An'I love my own life dearly,
My whole delight's in her weel-faured face,
An'I long to have her near me.

The first thing that I asked of her,
Where did her father dwell, 0,
And the answer that she gae to me
Was, "Between the cloods an' hell, 0.

The next thing that I asked at her
Was, if she wad tak a man,
And the answer that she gae to me
Was, "Files (whiles, sometimes) noo an'than, 0."

The next thing that I asked at her,
If she wad mairry me,
And the answer that she gae to me,
"I think I'm better free, 0."
