Summary

Portrait of Robert Burns Robert Burns,  New minstrel

“ And hear ilk bird sing o' its love,
⁠As fondly sae did I o' mi
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
⁠Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree;
But my fause lover stole my rose,
⁠And left the sharpest thorn wi' me

Portrait of Robert Burns Robert Burns,  New minstrel

“ Sae loud and shrill's I hear the blast.
⁠I'm sure it's winter fairly
⁠Up in the morning &c.
The birds sit chittering on the thorn,
⁠A' day they fare but sparely
And lang's the nicht frae e'en to morn
⁠I'm sure it's winter fairly.
