At Daith lets slip the infinite soul;

And syne it’s like a sunrise tint

In grey o’ day, or love and life,

That in a cloody blash o’ sperm

Undae the warld to big’t again,

Or like a pickled foetus that

Nae man feels ocht in common wi’

—But micht as easily ha’ been!

Or like a corpse a soul set free

Scunners to think it tenanted
