Doric Lays.<br><br>Simmer Flowers.<br><br>Ye come and gang sweet simmer flowers,<br>And laich ye may be laid,<br>But weel I ken ye'll blume again<br>Whatever may be said.<br><br>Tine as ye will your silken claes,<br>The bonniest o' ye a',<br>Tho' ye but tell the nitkerin' tale<br>That sae I'll slip awa'.<br><br>Yet, idols o' my hamely hearth,<br>Ye're aye the same to me<br>As when, wi' steekit een, I eoor'd<br>Aside my mither's knee;
