life smokin fae thir mous;
a leam o sunlicht thirls the mirk
lik guid news
an splatters braiths wi gowd.
Anent the wa, a cuddy,
wi its timmer fraucht:
siller board set wi cairngorms
that myrrh the air.
Nae bairnie nor hirds are here,
nor kings wi camels;
only angels the sleepin doos,
yet the morn’s rich
wi frankinscence
o promise.
