lyrics

THE GREET IN BAIRNIE by William Soutar

Sic a greetin bairnie,
Sic a bruckit face,
Ye maunna be sae girnie
In they bricht, braw days.

Licht is lowpin owre ye;
Gowks lauch frae the wüd;
Fleurs dance on afore ye;
A’ the world is gled.

Gin the sün were sumphie
There wud aye be nicht:
Gin the müne were grumphie
There wud be nae licht.

Sic a greetin bairnie,
Sic a bruckit face,
Ye maunna be sae girnie
In they bricht, braw days.
