OU LA LUNE OCIEUSE
These lang dreich nichts, fan the Meen's
a traichlin traal gaun roon sae sweir,
fan the bantie's blate t' gie's a cockle-daw,
fan mirk for ivry sowel sair-deen's raxed oot a year -
A micht've dwined athoot yon unco freen,
that dodged richt roon t' swage ma stoonin hert,
an settl't bare as licht in my airm-span
t' sing sae douce o blithe an lees.
Nae doot ye're prood an coorse an caal;
bit in seclusion fine a hae yer tween.
Yon bonnie bogle coories doon sae swack:
alangside her a staun or tak ma ease.
Nithin's ivver been held back.
Syne sleep's the salve that chaets the deepest dool.
Fan love deals oot yer haun deception's
trumps - nae herts - exception maks the rule.
