O Bonie Was Yon Rosy Brier
o bonie was yon rosy brier o bonie was yon rosy brier, that blooms sae far frae haunt o' man; and bonie she, and ah, how dear! it shaded frae the e'enin sun. yon rosebuds in the m dew, how pure, amang the leaves sae green; but purer was the lover's vow they witness'd in their shade yestreen. all in its rude and prickly bower, that crimson rose, how sweet and fair; but love is far a sweeter flower, amid life's thorny path o' care. the pathless, wild and wimpling burn, wi' chloris in my arms, be mine; and i the warld nor wish nor s, its joys and griefs alike resign.
