The Posie
To its own Tune.
Olove will venture in, where itdarena weel be seen,

But I will dawn yon river rove, arnang",the leaves sa£

An' a' to pu' a po*ie to my ain dear Jean,
The primrose I will pu', the firstling o' the year,
An' I will pu' the pink the emblem o' my dear,
For she's the pink, o' womankind, (I will her ay
esteem)
An' a' to be a posie to my ain dear Jean.
I'll pu' the budding rose, when it glttters'wi' the dcv.%
For it's like a balmy kiss of her sweet bonny mou' j
The daisey for simplicity, an' unaffected mein,
An' a' to be a posie for my ain dear Jean.
The lily it is pure, and the lily it is fair,
An' in her lovely breast, I'll place the lily there 5
The hyacinth for constancy, an'sweetly smelling bean,,
An' a' to be a posie to my ain dear Jean.
