Ye gallants bright, I rede you right, Beware o' bonnie Ann; Her comely face sae fu' o' grace, Your heart she will trepan: Her een sae bright, like stars by night, Her skin sae like the swan; Sae jimply lac'd her genty waist, That sweetly ye might span. Youth, Grace, and Love attendant move, And pleasure leads the van: In a' their charms, and conquering arms, They wait on bonnie Ann. The captive bands may chain the hands, But love enslaves the man: Ye gallants braw, I rede you a', Beware o' bonnie Ann! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AEOLIAN HARP (1) by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM TO MISS KINDER, ON RECEIVING A NOTE DATED FEBRUARY 30TH by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD GERARDA by ELOISE ALBERTA VERONICA BIBB STRANGE PERSPECTIVE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THEY WHO COME BACK by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
