THE HILLS OF CULROSS
No heather blooms upon the hills,
No bonnie bluebells blew,
But daisies crest the Culross hills
'With drifts of petalled snow.
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.
