Rhododendron - danger

Before I gang awa from thee,
I'll speak my heart out fu' and free,

And gin ye listen now to me,

And wee bit wordie, -

'T will do ye good, my donsie, wee,

And bonnie birdie!

Och! dinna trust admirin' man!

He'll gain a heart where'er he can,

And grasp it wi' a cruel han, -

And wound it sorely!

And then, wi' man's and woman's ban,

Ye'll fare but puirly!

~ J.Wesley Hanson, Lowell, 1846
