First lines
Craigo Woods, wi' the splash o' the cauld rain beatin' / I' the back end o' the year, / When the clouds hang laigh wi' the weicht o' their load o' greetin' / And the autumn wind's asteer; / Ye may stand like gaists, ye may fa' i' the blast that's cleft ye / To rot i' the chilly dew, / But when will I mind on aucht since the day I left ye / Like I mind on you -- on you?
