baumy

Updated: June 7, 2025

I'll pu' the budding rose when Phoebus peeps in view, For it's like a baumy kiss o' her sweet bonnie mou' The hyacinth's for constancy, wi' its unchanging blue And a' to be a posie for my ain dear May The lily it is pure and the lily it is fair, And in her lovely bosom I'll place the lily there, The daisy's for simplicity of unaffected air; And a' to be a posie to my ain dear May.
