James Hogg


Her cheek of beauty blushed like rose-bud in the rain.	1
Burst frae their bounds like fiends of hell.	2
The stars of heaven fell calmly away, Like flakes of snow in a winter day.	3
O, love, love, love! Love is like a dizziness; It winna let a poor body Gang about his bizziness.	4
Red as the beacon-light.	5
As stubborn as Muirkirk iron.	6
Yellow as cowslips.	7
