And syne the licht,

That queer extension o’ the dark,

That seems a separate and a different thing,

And, seemin’ sae, has lang confused the dark,

And set it at cross-purposes wi’ itsel’.

O little Life

In which Daith guises and deceives itsel’,

Joy that mak’s Grief a Janus,

Hope that is Despair’s fause-face,

And Guid and Ill that are the same,
