ILLE TERRARUM

nirly, nippin', Eas'lan' breeze,

Frae Norlan' snaw, an' haar o' seas,

Weel happit in your gairden trees,

A bonny bit,

Atween the muckle Pentland's knees,

Secure ye sit.

Beeches an' aiks entwine their theek,

An' firs, a stench, auld-farrant clique.

A' simmer day, your chimleys reek,

Couthy and bien;

An' here an' there your windies keek

Amang the green.
