Nature
Down The Burn, Davie
From Poems and Songs, 1793
Nature
As down the burn they took their way,
And thro’ the flowery dale;
His cheek to hers he aft did lay,
And love was aye the tale:
With “Mary, when shall we return,
Sic pleasure to renew?”
Quoth Mary—“Love, I like the burn,
And aye shall follow you.”
