Lovely Polly Stewart

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

O lovely Polly Stewart! O charming Polly Stewart! There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May, That's hauf sae sweet as thou art. The flower it blaws, it fades, it fa's, And art can ne'er renew it; But Worth and Truth, eternal youth Will gie to Polly Stewart. May he, whase arms shall fauld thy charms, Possess a leal and true heart! To him be given, to ken the Heaven He grasps in Polly Stewart! O lovely Polly Stewart! O charming Polly Stewart! There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May, That's hauf sae sweet as thou art.
