Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE IS A WINSOME WEE THING
Last Line: AND THINK MY LOT DIVINE.
Subject(s): HOME; MARRIAGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
SHE is a winsome wee thing,
She is a handsome wee thing,
She is a bonnie wee thing,
This sweet wee wife o' mine.
I never saw a fairer,
I never lo'ed a dearer.
And neist my heart I'll wear her,
For fear my jewel tine.
She is a winsome wee thing,
She is a handsome wee thing,
She is a bonnie wee thing,
This sweet wife o' mine.
The warld's wrack we shre o't,
The wrastle and the care o't:
Wi' her I'll blythely bear it,
And think my lot divine.
