The Leverock An The Jenny Wren (The Lark & The Wren: Scots) Poem by Sheena Blackhall

The Leverock an the Jenny Wren
The Leverock an the Jenny Wren
Ane tweets a bonnie roundelay
Wee Jenny Wren cheeps laigh an sweet
Sing, Carpe diem: Seize the day

The Leverock an the Jenny Wren
Ane trills in flicht tae Heiven's gateway
The ither frae a gairden buss
Sing Carpe diem: Seize the day

The Leverock an the Jenny Wren
The wren's wee sang's a bonnie lay
The leverock's daybrakk's herald heich
Sing, Carpe diem: Seize the day

The Leverock an the Jenny Wren
The Leverock tune's in sunlicht's ray
Wee Jenny's lilt is hamespun, braw
Sing, Carpe diem: Seize the day
