on a bank of flowers - robert burns lyrics

on a bank of flowers
(robert burns)
on a bank of flowers in a summer day
for summer lightly drest,
the youthful, blooming nelly lay,
with love and sleep opprest;
when willie, wand’ring thro the wood,
who for her favour oft had su’d-
he gaz’d, he wish’d,he fear’d, he blush’d,
and trembled where he stood.
her closed eyes, like weapons sheath’d,
were seal’d in soft repose;
her lips, still as she fragrant breath’d,
it richer dyed the rose.
the springing lilies, sweetly prest,
wild-wanton kiss’d her rival breast:
he gaz’d, he wish’d,he fear’d, he blush’d,
his bosom ill at rest.
her robes, light-waving in the breeze,
her tender limbs embrace;
her lovely form, her native ease,
all harmony and grace.
tumultuous tides his pulses roll,
a faltering, ardent kiss he stole;
he gaz’d, he wish’d, he ear’d, he blush’d,
and sigh’d his very soul.
as flies the partridge from the brake
on fear-inspired wings,
so nelly starting, half-awake,
awar affrighted springs.
but willie, follow’d – as he should,
he overtook her in the wood;
he vow’d, he pray’d, he found the maid
forgiving all, and good.
