,inister of small rural parish near Perth,
18th reference to the Highland belief in the an
putty of the Gaelic tongue
Should Gaelic speech be e'er forgot,
An never brocht to min,
For she'll be spoke in Paradise
In the days o. auld lang syne
When Eve, all fresh in beauty's charms,
First met fond Adam view,
The first words that he'll spoke till her
Was "cumar ashum dhu."
And Adam, in his garden fair,
Whenever the day did close,
The dish that he to supper teuk,
Was always Athole brose.
When Adam from his leafy bower
Came DOT at break o. day,
He'll always for his morning teuk
A quaich o. usquebae.
An when wi Eve he II had crack,
He'll teuk his sneeshin' horn.
An on the tap yen well MIGHT mark
A penny praw cairngorm.
The sneeshin' null is fine, my frien's,
The sneeshin' null is grand;
Wen teuk hearty sneesh, my frien's,
An pass't frae hand to hand.
When man first fand the want o. claes,
The wind an cauld to feg,
He twisted round about his waist
The tartan philabeg.
An music first on earth was heard,
In Gaelic accents deep,
When Jubal in his oxter squeezed
The blether o. a sheep.
The praw bagpipes is grand, my frien's,
The praw bagpipes is fine;
Wen teuk anither pibroeh yet,
For the days o. suld lang syne.
