A . UJLY DAY MEMORY , My Bessie , O but look upon these bonnie budding flowers , O do na' they remember thee o' childhood ' s happy hours ? When we upon this very hill , sae aft did row and play , An thou wert like the morning sup , an life a nightless day ,
On that May-day ! The gowans they were bonnie—when I'd pu' them frae their stem , An' rin' in noisy blythesomeness to thee , my Bess , wi them , An place them in thy white white breast , for which thou'dst smile on me , I saw nae mair the gowans there—then saw I only thee .
On that May-day ! Like twa fair roses on a tree , we flourished , an we grew , An' as we grew , our loves grew too . for feeling was their dew ; An' thou vvadst thraw thy wee bit arms , sae aft about my heck , ^ " 7 An * breathe young vows , that after years o' sorrow hasna brak . ~
O that May-day I O is nae this a joyous day—awoet Hay j 8 breathing forth In gladness , an * in loveliness , o ' er a * the wide wide earth ; The linnets they are lilting love , on ilka buth *» ' toe , O may sic joys be ever felt , my Bets , by tbee and me , On this May-day ! Daft Wattje ,
