Yours am I my lassie fair <br /> Yours, my lovely dearie O; <br />Every heartbeat I declare; <br /> Every rovin’ fancy, O. <br />Wind may blaw; sna’ may fa’; <br /> Stars may fade an’ dee: <br />My love for you outshines them a’, <br /> If you’ll marry me. <br /> <br />Chorus: <br />Darling will you marry me <br /> Will you say 'I do'? <br />Darling will you marry me <br /> You know I LOVE YOU. <br /> <br />Night descends tae kiss the morn; <br /> The Robin is wi’ song; <br />Moments fade but I adorn <br /> You a’ this Winter long. <br />O lover’s tears; lover’s sighs <br /> The ocean’s ebb an’ flow: <br />Sun fa’s for the moon tae rise, <br /> An’ roon the seasons go. <br /> <br />Whatever troubles life unfolds <br /> Whatever people say <br />As constant as the Northern star <br /> I’ll be your night and day: <br />The Winter brings it’s biting cold; <br /> The North Wind brings her storms <br />I will bring a ring o’ gold <br /> When summer winds come warm. <br /> <br />The water’s rinnin saft an’ sweet; <br /> Leaves are turnin’ gold; <br />We’ll say our vows, hand in hand <br /> With a Bible that we hold. <br />And so it was, by Silver Luce; <br /> Sae fair as fae a dream; <br />Lo, oor marraige, was in truth <br /> A Promise o’er a Stream!<br /><br />Patrick Scott Hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-promise-o-er-a-stream-said-to-be-the-old-way-peasants-married-exchanging-bibles-two-songs-merged-abstract-poetry/
