Maxioms by John Bunyan
O doul on the day that gae me an old man.
O doul on the day that gae me an old man.
And last, the crown of a' my grief.
And last, the crown of a' my grief.
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
As so I penned
It down, until at last it came to be,
For length and breadth, read more
As so I penned
It down, until at last it came to be,
For length and breadth, the bigness which you see.
Yestreen, when to the trembling string
The dance gaed thro' the lighted ha',
To thee my fancy read more
Yestreen, when to the trembling string
The dance gaed thro' the lighted ha',
To thee my fancy took its wing;
I sat, but neither heard nor saw.
