nebs tae the sin  -
faither mither bairns
gowans




faces to the sun  -
father mother children
daisies

sheddae o's dreepin stug  -
hern bydin
fir the cygnets




shadow of his dripping spike  -
heron waiting
for the cygnets

chyngin o the gaird
a ballet
in reid




changing of the guard
a ballet
in red

i the gairden
the bleckie dillin
the bodach's lanesomeness




in the garden
the blackbird soothing
the old man's loneliness

efter the yowe-trummle  -
the braes
fou o mean ghaists




after the sheep-shearing  -
the hills
full of angular ghosts

weirin neebors  -
throuch the palin a rose
offerin itsel




warring neighbours  -
through the fence a rose
offering itself

yokit on bi a gang
o speuggies  -  maggie
draps a fite fedder




mugged by a gang
of sparrows  -  magpie
drops a white feather
