Gowden Threids


An auld carl chappit on our door,

Yearly, I cairry this kist:


green silk tae sow

a lown coat for spring,


bricht cramson cloth -

a dress tae dance at Lammas,


blae yarn tae knit

a scarf frae autumn’s souch,


white wool at Yuill

tae hap a shawl or shroud.


Thir gowden threids'

tae stitch the seasouns roun


William Hershaw
