THE POSIE
O, luve will venture in where it daur na weel be seen!
O, luve will venture in, where wisdom ance hath been!
But I will doun yon river rove amang the wood sae
green,
And a' to pu a posie to my ain dear May!
The primirose I will pu, the firstling o the year,
And I will pu the pink, the emblem o my dear,
For she's the pink o womankind, and blooms without a
peer-
And a'to be a posie to my ain dear May!
I'II pu the budding rose, when Phoebus peeps in view,
For it's like a baumy kiss o her sweet, bonie mou.
The hyacinth's for constancy wi its unchanging blue-
And a'to be a posie to my ain dear May!
The lily it is pure, and the lily it is fair,
And in her lovely bosom I'll place the lily there.
The daisy's for simplicity an unaffected air-
