| | | John Arthur Blaikie (b. 185–) |
| |
| |
| IN thy white bosom Love is laid; | |
| His rosy cheek within that nest | |
| Another dawning there hath made, | |
| Causing in me a new unrest. | |
| Like as the sun the hills with fire | 5 |
| He wakes anew my old desire. | |
| |
| But ah, thou dost defy the boy, | |
| Too strong for him and me dost prove, | |
| The freezing snows proclaim thee coy, | |
| Purloin the blushing hope of Love | 10 |
| Who flies, alas for thy disdain! | |
| The throne where he alone should reign. | |
