O luely, luely, cam she in <br />And luely she lay doun: <br />I kent her be her caller lips <br />And jer breists sae sma' and roun'. <br /> <br />A' thru the night we spak nae word <br />Nor sinder'd bane frae bane: <br />A' thru the nicht I heard her heart <br />Gang soundin' wi' my ain. <br /> <br />It was about the waukrife hour <br />When cocks begin to craw <br />That she smool'd saftly thru the mirk <br />Afore the day wud daw. <br /> <br />Sae luely, luely, cam she in <br />Saie luely was she gaen; <br />And wi' her a' my simmer days <br />Like they had never been.<br /><br />William Soutar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-trysting-place/
