Comin Thro' The Rye-Robert Burns

O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the glen,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need the warl' ken?

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the grain;
Gin a body kiss a body,
The thing's a body's ain.

I really like this poem, hope you enjoy it.

  1. A – 5 Shows an understanding of the character to a certain extent. Some inventiveness employed to highlight Phoebe’s intelligence.
    B – 5 Generally appropriate register and style. Would benefit from ensuring words are used in English. The structure is good.
