Question:

Can someone help me with this Burns poem?

How do you pronounce all this?

There was a bonny lass, and a bonny, bonny lass,
And she lo??ed her bonny laddie dear;
Til?? War??s loud alarms tore her laddie frae her arms,
Wi?? mony a sigh and tear.
Over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,
He still was a stranger to fear;
And nocht could him quail, or his bosom assail,
But the bonny lass he lo??ed sae dear.

There was a bonny lass, and a bonny, bonny lass,
And she loved her bonny laddie dear;
until wars loud alarms tore her laddie from her arms,
with many a sigh and tear.
Over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,
He still was a stranger to fear;
And nothing could him quail, or his bosom assail,
But the bonny lass he loved some day
