Comin' thro' the Rye by Robbie 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. Ilka lassie has her laddie, Nane, they say, ha’e I Yet all the lads they smile on me, When comin' thro' the rye. |
Presented here are a few versions of Comin' Thro' the Rye by Robbie Burns. This is the poem/song that Holden misinterprets and from which the title of the novel comes. He thinks the poem states, "when a body catch a body/ Comin thro the rye". He wants to catch children as run off of a cliff at the edge of a field of rye. This represents his longing to save children from the 'phony' world of adulthood and keep them in the innocence of childhood. Ironically, the actual poem says, " a body meet a body/ Comin thro the rye" and depicts a casual sexual encounter; the type of encounter that is typified in the world of adults.
