As I Sat At My Spinning-wheel AS I SAT at my spinning-wheel,A bonny lad there passed by,I kenned him round, and I liked him weel,Good faith he had a bonny eye:My heart new panting, 'gan to fee!,But still I turned my spinning-wheel. Most gracefully he did appear,As he my presence did draw near,And round about my slender waistHe clasped his arms, and me embraced:To kiss my hand he down did kneel,As I sat at my spinning-wheel. My milk white hand he did extol,And praised my fingers long and small,And said, there was no lady fair,That ever with me could compare:Those pleasing words my heart did feel,But still I turned my spinning-wheel. Altho' I seemingly did chide,Yet he would never be denied,But did declare his love the more,Until my heart was wounded sore;That my love could scarce conceal,But yet I turned my spinning-wheel. As for my yarn, my rock and reel,And after that my spinning-wheel,He bid me leave them all with speedAnd gang with him to yonder mead:My panting heart strange flames did feelYet still I turned my spinning-wheel. He stopped and gazed, and blithely said,Now speed the wheel, my bonny maid,But if thou'st to the hay-cock go,I'll learn thee better work I trow,Good faith, I liked him passing weel,But still I turned my spinning-wheel. He lowly veiled his bonnet off,And sweetly kissed my lips so soft;Yet still between each honey kiss,He urged me on to farther bliss:Till I resistless fire did feel,Then let alone my spinning-wheel. Among the pleasant cocks of hay, Then with my bonny lad I lay, What damsel ever could deny, A youth with such a charming eye? The pleasure I cannot reveal, It far surpassed the spinning-wheel.
