and i will pu&039; the pk, the eble o&039; y dear;

for she&039;s the pk o&039; woankd, and bloos without a peer,

and a&039; to be a posie to y a dear ay

for it&039;s like a bauy kiss o&039; her sweet, bonie ou;

and a&039; to be a posie to y a dear ay

the hawthorn i will pu&039;, wi&039; its locks o&039; siller gray,

where, like an ad an, it stands at break o&039; day;

the woodbe i will pu&039;, when the e&039;eng star is near,

and the diaond draps o&039; dew shall be her een sae clear;

the violet&039;s for odesty, which weel she fa&039;s to wear,

and a&039; to be a posie to y a dear ay

i&039;ll tie the posie round wi&039; the silken band o&039; ve,

and i&039;ll pce it her breast, and i&039;ll swear by a&039; above,

that to y test draught o&039; life the band shall ne&039;er reove,

and this will be a posie to y a dear ay
