Yestreen I had a pint o’ wine,A place where body saw na;Yestreen lay on this breast o’ mineThe gowden locks of Anna.4
The hungry Jew in wilderness,Rejoicing o’er his manna,Was naething to my hinny blissUpon the lips of Anna.8
Ye monarchs, take the East and WestFrae Indus to Savannah;Gie me, within my straining grasp,The melting form of Anna:12
There I’ll despise Imperial charms,An Empress or Sultana,While dying raptures in her armsI give and take wi’ Anna!16
Awa, thou flaunting God of Day!Awa, thou pale Diana!Ilk Star, gae hide thy twinkling ray,When I’m to meet my Anna!20
Come, in thy raven plumage, Night,(Sun, Moon, and Stars, withdrawn a’;)And bring an angel-pen to writeMy transports with my Anna!24
