    Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;

    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.

    A calling for colour calls with the wind
    That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
    Sleeping on either hand.

    There are no stars to-night
    But those of memory.
    Yet how much room for memory there is
    In the loose girdle of soft rain.
