te tak oot aw' the colors fair, and deed ye fall
like leaf te ground, afore ye breathe wan mare
inhale...te suck the new frae old.
Beneath yon splattered, spilt'on rug,
deep watter dank, droons slumbered earth
an creepin', seekin' seeds sproot oot
their mony tendrilled, pasty threeds.
An' each wee strand, though blind of eye,
will meet the morn wi' joyfull blush
oh verdant hue! Free noo, te lose
the shaklin' chains. Raise flags wance mair!
So gaze ye, sight on croons again,
aw' crimson 'gainst the strange cauld air!
high heaven's blue ne'r cud describe
the ache frae skies in autumned eyes.
Sai greet yer tears'n beg for time,
tho' gloamin' mists will tak yer sight;
aye closer peer upon the groond
where shadow-fall births new born life.
