lyrics

BALLA D by William Soutar

Far in the nicht whan faint the müne
My love knock’t at the door:
He spak nae word as he walkit in,
And wi’ nae sound stepp’t owre.

White was his face in the thin licht,
And white his hands and feet:
Like snaw, that in itsel is bricht,
White was his windin-sheet.

He look’t on me wi’ sichtless e’en,
And yet his e’en were kind:
And a’ the joys that we had taen
Thrang’d up into my mind.

And for the whilie he was near,
Glimmerin in the gloom,
I thocht the hale o’ the world was there
Sae sma’ in a sma’ room.
