POEM TITLE The Blackness Retreat
POEM
Fae skelp o’ squall 'n' sautie drift,
beast as crabbit as kraken!
Steadfast ah tackle 'n' retreat
Tae Flick o' distant jacklight,
'n' ma guid claes cauld an soppin
Fae skelp o’ squall 'n' sautie drift.
Mah hert is at th' lobster pot,
Fiddlers jig – ‘'n' jist yin speckled hen,’
Steadfast ah tackle 'n' retreat
Tae tales tellt wi' gusto 'n' wit,
O' scars wi' Cromwell’s cannon,
Fae skelp o’ squall 'n' sautie drift.
O' sleekit foe sat in silt
by oor castle ur withdrawn
steadfast ah tackle 'n' retreat
Tae witches oor 'n' cinder wick,
Blackness-on-sea battlers oan
Fae skelp o’ squall 'n' sautie drift.
Steadfast ah tackle 'n' retreat
