a rose-bud by early walk

a rose-bud by early walk,

adown a corn-enclosed bawk,

sae gently bent its thorny stalk,

all on a dewy rning.

ere twice the shades o' dawn are fled,

in a' its crion glory spread,

and drooping rich the dewy head,

it scents the early rning.

within the bush her covert nest

a little li fondly prest;

the dew sat chilly on her breast,

sae early in the rning.
