Byled puddens in the pan,
Fin deein birks an hingin saughs
Drapt leaves alang the lan.
St Martin watches howfs an drouths
Wi Bacchus at his airm;
The swalla quats the frostit eaves -
Yon's flittin time at term.
Reid poppies bloom on ilkie briest
Fin Samhuinn rules the mist;
The waukrife Deid gar ye takk heed
Fa quit the rottit kist.
Sae step aside an let thaim pass,
The itherwardly fey;
Fur Jacob's laidder's thrang wi wings
On guid St Martin's day.
