Dream Scene
There's a scene in my mind
under skies that are kind,
whaur a' looks sae peaceful and fair.
Hamely an' bonny as ever I'll find,
An' I wish - hoo I wish I wis there.
Sich an' awfu' nice cot,
this dream place has got,
wi' ramblin' red roses, a wheen;
(Micht as weel add flooerin' shrub in a pot,
fur I ken the hale thing is a dream).
Ilka day roon' the door,
Cheefu' neighbours galore,
an' friend's drappin in fur a chat.
Completin' the pictur' are books fu' o' lore -
near the fire sits a a dinky wee cat.
Yes, we'll hae it yin day,
Is whit we a's say'
visuallisin' this pictur' sae rare.
Auld echo repeats, as we trauchle oor way:
“oh I wish – hoo I wish I wis there.”
