II
TO REMOVE FRECKLES—SCOTCH ONES

Gae the mirkest night an’ stan’

’Twixt twa graves, ane either han’;

Wi’ the right han’ fumblin’ ken

Wha the deid mon’s name’s ance be’n,—

Wi’ the ither han’ sae read

Wha’s neist neebor o’ the deid;

An it be or wife or lass,

Smoor tha twa han’s i’ the grass,

Weshin’ either wi’ the ither,
