THE BROOK AND ITS BANKS.
By the Rev. J. G. Wood, M.A., Author of "The Handy Natural History."
THE BROOK AND ITS BANKS.
"Whyles owre a linn the burnie plays,
As through the glen it dimpl't;
Whyles round a rocky scaur it strays;
Whyles in a weil it dimpl't;
Whyles glittered to the nightly rays,
Wi' bickering, dancing dazzle;
Whyles cookit underneath the braes
Below the spreading hazel."
Burns: "Halloween."
