freest mizzlin -
day muin
dwines intae the cluds




frost melting -
day moon
disappears into the clouds

i the muinlicht
fawin leaves
...derk sterns




in the moonlight
falling leaves
...dark stars

faw'n leaves -
bairns hove thaim liftwarts
an rin throuch thair fawin




fallen leaves -
children toss them skywards
and run through their falling

ceilidh -
throuch the herp strings
the weedie's begrutten neb




recital -
through the harp strings
the widow's tear-stained face

hairst sinlicht -
beasties an stour
daunce in a leam




autumn sunlight -
insects and dust
dance in a beam

swans gaither
...bit the day the bodach
maits the wirms




swans gather
...but today the old man
feeds the worms

eller berries -
bleck een
atween the leaves




elder berries -
beady eyes
between the leaves
