Roses In The Sna' Poem by jim hogg

T'was in the country dancing class
When I first laid my eyes on you
Bewitchin' fair an' temptin' lass
I grew addicted tae the view

For innocence deceives so neatly,
On love's thorn so bittersweetly
You and I so fondly thirled;
We would have traded a' the world

But never did oor lips reveal
The passion we could ne'er conceal
An' precious wounds we did endure
When we were young an' oh so pure

When you and I would never fa',
Like moments that would never pass
But such a thrill could never last
Like roses in the sna'

I weel remember how we gazed
Intae each ither's captured een
When pointlessly oor ecstacy
Meant everything that life could mean

But time was rushin' on so fleetly
Such a crush left me completely
High and dry above the tide
In dreams o' us lass, side by side

An' so a spark between us flared
Tae fade because I never dared
Your hand tae squeeze, your lips tae kiss,
When just tae think o' you was bliss

When you and I would never fa',
Like moments that would never pass
But such a thrill could never last
Like roses in the sna'
