Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBBA CCCADEEA FFFAAAAAA ROSE BUD by my early walk | A |
Adown a corn enclosed bawk | A |
Sae gently bent its thorny stalk | A |
All on a dewy morning | A |
Ere twice the shades o' dawn are fled | B |
In a' its crimson glory spread | B |
And drooping rich the dewy head | B |
It scents the early morning | A |
- | |
- | |
Within the bush her covert nest | C |
A little linnet fondly prest | C |
The dew sat chilly on her breast | C |
Sae early in the morning | A |
She soon shall see her tender brood | D |
The pride the pleasure o' the wood | E |
Amang the fresh green leaves bedew'd | E |
Awake the early morning | A |
- | |
- | |
So thou dear bird young Jeany fair | F |
On trembling string or vocal air | F |
Shall sweetly pay the tender care | F |
That tents thy early morning | A |
So thou sweet Rose bud young and gay | A |
Shalt beauteous blaze upon the day | A |
And bless the parent's evening ray | A |
That watch'd thy early morning | A |
Robert Burns
