a " Soon as the clear goodman of day 

 Bends his morning draught of dew, 

 We '11 gae to some burn-side to play 

 And gather flowers to busk ye'r brow. 

 We 'H 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."
