    I know not which I love the most,
    Nor which the comeliest shows,
    The timid, bashful violet
    Or the royal-hearted rose:
    The pansy in purple dress,
    The pink with cheek of red,
    Or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs,
    Like a bashful maid her head.

Spring glittering with the cheerful drops like dew.

Mourn, little harebells, o'er the lea;

Ye woodbines, hanging bonnilie
In scented bowers!
Ye roses on your thorny tree
The first o' flow'rs.
