Three flow' rets bloom'd i' my garden ha', I' the blithe sweet days o' langsyne ; An' bonnie an' fair were the three wee flowers That ance were Jamie's an' mine. Ijut a bKcht cam' owre my j)uir wee flowers, r the time o' the frost an' the snaw ; For they nestled their heids i' my sorrowin' breist, Syne they droopit an' diiw'd awa. Oh waly the day for the lauchin' blue oen, An' the hair sae silken an' fine ; An' the bonnie sweet face, an' the lippies sae red. That aften were prest to mine ! I se...e them a' there, i' the deid o' the nicht, An' 1 hear the wee patterin' feet ; An' my true love sighs in his gowden dreams, An' wearifu' sair I greet ! For its no the sweet faces that meet my e'e. An' its no the wee patterin' feet ; Jkit the glints o' the wanderin' lady moon, An' the roar o' the wind an' Aveet ! 198 POEMS AND SONGS. All' I lay me doun, an I close my een, But alack ! I can sleep nae mair ; An' fain wad I wauken my ain true love, For aye the wee flowers are there ! Oh leeze me lang on the bonnie blithe birds ; An' the milk-white kye on the lea ; An' the gowans that blaw on the emerald hills, An' the moan o' the silvery sea.
