Fairest Maid On Devon Banks.
By Robert Burns
Tune - "Rothemurche." I. Fairest maid on Devon banks, Crystal Devon, winding Devon, Wilt thou lay that frown aside, And smile as thou were wont to do? Full well thou know'st I love thee, dear! Could'st thou to malice lend an ear! O! did not love exclaim "Forbear, Nor use a faithful lover so." II. Then come, thou fairest of the fair, Those wonted smiles, O let me share; And by thy beauteous self I swear, No love but thine my heart shall know. Fairest maid on Devon banks, Crystal Devon, winding Devon, Wilt thou lay that frown aside, And smile as thou were wont to do?
