  6. The Bonnie Broukit Bairn
    Hugh MacDiarmid

    Mars is braw in crammasy,
    Venus in a green silk goun,
    The auld mune shak’s her gowden feathers,
    Their starry talk’s a wheen o’ blethers,
    Nane for thee a thochtie sparin’,
    Earth, thou bonnie broukit bairn!
    – But greet, an’ in your tears ye’ll droun
    The haill clanjamfrie!

  21. The Little White Rose
    (To John Gawsworth)

    The rose of all the world is not for me.
    I want for my part
    Only the little white rose of Scotland
    That smells sharp and sweet—and breaks the heart.
