Sin drappin slawly fae sicht

Till bleck an seelent's the nicht
Bit syne ere lang
Soonds o' a sang
Dreeft upwuth wauk'nin the mune
Sweertily ay
It clims up, up, up in the sky
Fantly sheenin aroon
Starns jyne in seen
Hearin the teen
'Tho licht years fae Airth ilk swings
Wyse ools syne hoot
An mice they scoot
Fyle birds' heids bide ooner wings
Oot faar I sit
Wi bale-fire lit
Ma myn's ee traivels oor wirl
Faar it is morn
Faar nae yit dawn
Till ma heid sterts tae birl ! |
