On gaird dewtie afoir apen roustie yetts,
The gairden nou terreal, ane eritage perk
Whaur dischairgit fruct is saired wi reme.
Waantin the nip o brunt howkit eldrins
The sweit smell o nivver-feidin flouers wuid gar uz ug,
Jeilies on bakkie-bried gabs wuid staw uz,
The fauss taiblilie o blak lippart an fowne
Micht mint at the uise o dillin daurts.
Weird condeitionat nerfs nede fell dinnils
Bainner heidlynes freit the Baitailyie o the Lang Hinneren,
Cleckin wir harrigals wi ern as staitsmen
Fulminat frae siccar threipin chaumers;
The jubish swither at follaes baurlies.
An whitwey wuid we ful the nichts in Paradyss
Whan no out-glowerit bi the tellies' saxeane ei?
The skreich o day wuid finnd uz caimin the forrest
Fur sairpents ti set nyow wanchancie appeteits.
An gin a drousie Best outdrave uz,
Wagein orra fyre-flaughts, we'd bot smirk
Kennin at thai wes med frae pase.
An aff we wuid daunner, weirin banisment
Crouslie, lik a skouriss' uglie.
