Additional quotes by Helen Cruickshank

Sae smoor yersel', my man, </br> Pit oot yer licht, </br> Grey hair that's tow </br> To a lassie's lowe </br> Is an unco sicht.

Bide the storm ye canna hinder,
Mindin’ through the strife,
Hoo the luntin’ lowe o’ beauty
Lichts the grey o’ life.

I mind o' the Ponnage Pool,
The reid brae risin',
Morphie Lade,
An' the saumon that louped the dam,
A tree i' Martin's Den
Wi' names carved on it;
But I ken na wha I am.
