AYE WAUKIN' O!, by ANONYMOUS First Line: O spring's a pleasant time Last Line: "sleep can I get nane, / for thinkin' o' my dearie" Subject(s): Desire;spring | ||||||||
O SPRING'S a pleasant time, Flowers o' every colour -- The sweet bird builds her nest, And I long for my lover. Aye waukin' O, Waukin' aye, and weary, Sleep can I get nane, For thinkin' o' my dearie. O I'm wat, wat, O I'm wat and weary; Yet fain I'd rise and run If I thought to meet my dearie When I sleep I dream, When I wauk I'm eerie; Sleep can I get nane, For thinkin' o' my dearie. Lanely night comes on; A' the lave are sleeping; I think on my love, And blear my een wi' greeting. Feather-beds are soft, Painted rooms are bonnie; But a kiss o' my dear love Is better far than ony. O for Friday's night, Friday at the gloaming! O for Friday's night! Friday's lang o' coming. Aye waukin' O, Waukin' aye, and weary, Sleep can I get nane, For thinkin' o' my dearie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
