" " Soon as the clear goodman of day 

 Bends his morning draught of dew. 

 We 'U gae to some burn-side to play 

 And gather flowers to busk ye'r brow. 

 We'll pou the daisies on the green. 

 The Lucken-Gowans frae the bog, 

 Between hands now and then we '11 lean. 

 And sport upon the velvet fog."
