James Hogg

Her cheek of beauty blushed like rose-bud in the rain.

Burst frae their bounds like fiends of hell.

The stars of heaven fell calmly away,
Like flakes of snow in a winter day.

O, love, love, love!
Love is like a dizziness;
It winna let a poor body
Gang about his bizziness.

Red as the beacon-light.

As stubborn as Muirkirk iron.

Yellow as cowslips.
