If to thy heart I were as near As thou art near to mine, I'd hardly care though a' the year Nae sun on earth suld shine, iny dear, Nae sun on earth suld shine! Twin starnies are thy glanein' een ''" A world they'd licht and niair ''" And gin that ye he my Christine, Ae blink to me ye'll spare, my dear. Ae blink to me ye'll spare! My leesome May I've wooed too lang ''" Aneath the trystin' tree, I've sung till a' the plantius rang, Wi' lays o' love for thee, my dear. WI' lays o' love for thee. The dew-draps glisten on the green, The laverocks lilt on high, We'll forth and doun the loan, Christine, And kiss when nane is nigh, my dear, And kiss when nane is nigh! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SERE AND YELLOW LEAF by KAREN SWENSON DUSK IN WAR TIME by SARA TEASDALE LITANY by ROBERT GRANT (1785-1838) THE BELLS OF SHANDON by FRANCIS SYLVESTER MAHONY THE MALDIVE SHARK by HERMAN MELVILLE BLACK ROSES by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR.
