Explore "Come, Let me Take Thee to my Breast" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Come, let me take thee to my breast, / And pledge we ne'er shall sunder; / And I shall spurn as vilest dust / The world's wealth and grandeur: / And do I hear my Jeanie own / That equal transports move her? / I ask for dearest life alone, / That I may live to love her.
Thus, in my arms, wi' a' her charms, / I clasp my countless treasure; / I'll seek nae main o' Heav'n to share, / Tha sic a moment's pleasure: / And by thy e'en sae bonie blue, / I swear I'm thine for ever! / And on thy lips I seal my vow, / And break it shall I never.
