Sang
To L.J.S
A day stown oot o a year,
a boat on a simmer tide -
wis, wi da isle ta wirsels,
saand an sea, da wide
lift ta wirsels, we kent
what luck, what life meant.
Wir year wears on ta hairst,
bit mind's an hert's een
(salistin on da gaet)
see, as it were dastreen,
da plover alang da saand:
yon isle, yon simmer laand.
