bonnie wee Rosebud grows down by yonburnie, A bonnie wee Rosebud as ere you did see. 'saft silken leaves underneath a green thornie, 2. spare the wee Rosebud, O spare it for me; eredbreast sings wanton around this sweet posie!

w fain would I change for the weebirdies station, How blyth wad I peep 'neath the green thorny tree, raptured to muse, and transported to gaze on, This bonny wee Rosebud, O spare it for me! asten the moment, blest moment of pleasure! When-lock'd to my breast the wee Rosebud will be ted for ever, my soul's dearest treasure- spare the wee Rosebud, spare, spare it for me.
