voar - the burn's tuin
hus the bodach jiggin
...in's heid!
spring - the stream's tune
has the old man dancing
...in his head!
waashin day -
spewin sheets
cumulus cluds
washing day -
billowing sheets
cumulus clouds
bowsterous wund
treen threshin -
skeery i the craw's nest
fierce wind
trees thrashing -
scary in the crow's nest
scutchin the hedge
he reflecks
on the lenth o's baird
trimming the hedge
he reflects
on the length of his beard
the gairden's furst bummer -
its slaw daunce
the gawpin flooer
the garden's first bee -
its slow dance
the gaping flower
maggie tummles
doon throuch nakit brainches -
ma penny arcade
magpie tumbles
down through naked branches -
my penny arcade
the thowin burn -
the lipper o voar
a' whaur
the thawing stream -
the ripple of spring
everywhere
fir aw oor weirs
thae buds haud forrit
frae an airt whaur life's unsteert
for all our wars
these buds spring forth
from a place where life is untouched
