Winter’s Awa
Noo the snaw creeps fae the braes
And is gaen:
Noo the trees clap on their claes
Ane be ane:
Yonder owre the windy muir
Flees the craw;
And cries into the caller air,
Winter’s awa!
William Soutar
Noo the snaw creeps fae the braes
And is gaen:
Noo the trees clap on their claes
Ane be ane:
Yonder owre the windy muir
Flees the craw;
And cries into the caller air,
Winter’s awa!
