The twilights throw their purple shades • Like vi-o-lets across The rocky slopes, the glens and glades To nestle in the moss. When green spring days to summer pass Up sunny hills and down, Blue-vipers fire the meadow grass With flames that fade to brown. No lapwing and no inavis sing Or Or nest in Culross trees, But robins, larks and thrushes wing And trill their ecstasies, No rivers like the deep Dee run, A shallow stream, the Tees, Where brook trout flash in summer sun— Yet here, a Scotsman sees— A haze like heather on the hills And here, when white• mists rise, He feels at home ott Culross hills 'Neath blue Canadian skies. —Mentie du Val.
