Birch Trees Example
/ Translation of example:
The Birks of Aberfeldy in Winter
As Winter weeps and sighs her tears,
O’er bank and branch and painted tree,
Come let us stroll neath sapphire skies,
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
Through white and bare the trees do show,
Tho’ Winter casts her veil of snow,
A glimpse of gold no man could grow,
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
The robin sings to the river’s tune,
The gushing waters tumbling doon,
As hands entwined we two shall spoon,
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
Earth’s rocky climb like towers high,
Yawning, stretching to the sky,
Enwrap, enfold us, you and I,
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
Sparkling diamonds melt together,
Their time is short, e’er remember,
Forever we shall love and walk,
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
[From No' Rabbie Burns by Stuart McLean]
