A courting rhyme in old Scots dialect, with a girl sealing a letter to her miller sweetheart, dusty coat, dusty kiss and all. Words like 'siller' for silver make it a nice one for slightly older children curious about how English used to sound.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Margaret wrote a letter,
Sealed it with her finger,
Threw it in the dam
For the dusty miller.
Dusty was his coat,
Dusty was the siller,
Dusty was the kiss
I'd from the dusty miller.
If I had my pockets
Full of gold and siller,
I would give it all
To my dusty miller.
