HEY! NOW THE DAY DAWNS
Оглавление"Hay, nou the day dauis;
The jolie Cok crauis;
Nou shroudis the shauis,
Throu Natur anone.
The thissell-cok cryis
On louers wha lyis,
Nou skaillis the skyis;
The nicht is neir gone.
"The feildis ouerflouis
With gowans that grouis,
Quhair lilies lyk lou is,
Als rid as the rone.
The turtill that true is,
With nots that reneuis,
Hir pairtie perseuis;
The nicht is neir gone.
"Nou Hairtis with Hyndis,
Conforme to thair kyndis,
Hie tursis thair tyndis,
On grund whair they grone.
Nou Hurchonis, with Hairis,
Ay passis in pairis;
Quhilk deuly declaris
The nicht is neir gone...."
"Hey! now the day dawns;
The jolly Cock crows;
Thick-leaved the greenshaws,
Through Nature anon.
The thistle-cock cries
On lovers who lies,
All cloudless the skies;
The night is near gone.
"The fields overflow
With daisies a-blow,
And lilies like fire shine,
And red is the rowan.
The wood-dove that true is
Her crooling reneweth,
And her sweet mate pursueth;
The night is near gone.
"Now Harts with their Hinds
Conform to their kinds,
They vaunt their branched antlers,
They bell and they groan.
Now Urchins[1] and Hares
Keep apassing in pairs;
Which duly declares
The night is near gone...."
Alexander Montgomerie
