Unseen that night.

Amang the brackens on the brae, ferns, hillside

Between her an' the moon,

The Deil, or else an outler quey, unhoused heifer

Gat up an' gae a croon: gave a low

Poor Leezie's heart maist lap the hool; almost leapt, sheath

Near lav'rock height she jumpit, lark high

But miss'd a fit, an' in the pool foot

Out-owre the lugs she plumpit,

Wi' a plunge that night.
