Entire, in thistle-shape, as planned,

And no’ hauf-hidden and hauf-seen as here

In munelicht, whisky, and in fleshly fear,

In fear to look owre closely at

The grisly form in which I’m caught,

In sic a reelin’ and imperfect licht

Sprung frae incongruous elements the nicht!

But wer’t by thou they were shone on,

Then wad I ha’e nae dreid to con

The ugsome problems shapin’ in my soul,
