In foonds o’ fates designed for them,

Nor mansions o’ the soul stand toom

Their owners in their cellars trapped,

Nor a’ a people’s genius be

A rumple-fyke in Heaven’s doup,

While Calvinism uses her

To breed a minister or twa!

A black leaf owre a white leaf twirls,

A grey leaf flauchters in atween,

Sae ply my thochts aboot the stem
