Yon wee yella-heided bird, I see rising frae the stour A song o breid and cheese, brought on a summer’s breeze Frae a post afore the muir Brings fond memories back, tae a stony track Where harebells nod, neath the rabbity whins And winds its way below, yon wee beech row That was shaped with the wind Tis there where finer grass, starts giving way tae thresh This foarer on, gives way tae heather We sat yin nicht, by yon aul merch dyke and a picture bricht, wis formed forever As if a wish command, yon wee yite should land An oh it was a jewel, a jewel set in all its splendour Standing well out frae, all thon lichen shades o grey One I was bound tae remember. And weel I recall, a kindly soul that me and Davie, We met way up yonder As the wee yite sang, there came a nice old man And he passed on to us, a thing o’ wonder He wove us a rose frae the threshes’ heart Wish I could lend fur finer setting For o jist how yon aul man wove thon rose See me, ah’ve ne’er forgotten Repeat first verse. I love this recording by Deaf Shepherd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAEQi4cOwcY And here's a nature video titled "The Yellowhammer and its Call" V |
