Gif a lassie spurn a laddie
Wi' her needless Nays, Thraves will pet the hapless plaidie Wi' their loving ways; So if Kirsty blaw him cauldly As a winter day, Bess and Belle will bless him bauldly Wi' the breath of May. Prudery still affects the valley, Shady and alane, Meeting souls that loveward sally, Icy as a stane. On the mountain true Love singeth, Liberty is there; Dalliance wingeth, Pleasure springeth, From her waving hair. On the peaks abide the pleasures, Young and sweet and free, Yoked with Youth's immortal treasures, Love and Liberty; So, the hilltops seek while soaring, Eaglet of Love's sky; Light adorned and Light adoring, Bask, and burn and die. |
