Now the green blade riseth
From the buried grain
Wheat that in dark earth
Many days has lain
Love lives again
That with the dead has been
Love lives again
Like wheat that springeth green

If a' the blood shed at thy Tron
Edinbro', Edinbro'
If a' the blood shed at thy Tron Were shed intae a river
'twould ca' the mills of Bonnington
Edinbro', Edinbro' 'twould ca' the mills of Bonnington
For ever and for ever
If a' the tears that thou hast grat
Edinbro', Edinbro'
If a' the tears that thou hast grat
Were shed intae the sea
Where would ye find an Ararat
Edinbro', Edinbro'
Where would ye find an Ararat
Frae that fell flood tae flee?
If all the psalms sung in thy kirks
Edinbro', Edinbro'
If all the psalms sung in thy kirks
Were gaithered in the wynd
'twould shaw the tops o' Roslin's birks
Edinbro', Edinbro'
'twould shaw the tops o' Roslin's birks
Till time was oot o' mind.
If a' the broken hearts o' thee
Edinbro', Edinbro'
If a' the broken hearts o' thee
Were heaped in a howe
There would be neither land nor sea
Edinbro', Edinbro'
There would be neither land nor sea
But yon rede brae and thou.

her hidden chamber like the dawn.

U, u
Howling, roaring, Mother of the wind, calm your raging in the evening,
Raja, riridi, airada riridi, raj', raj', raj'
You must be so tired and weary bending low the forest treetops,
Gana piekususi, mezu locidama
Raja, riridi, airada riridi, raj', raj', raj'
U,u
Seaside winds they roar so loudly, bitter teardrops sheds a mother,
Raja, riridi, airada riridi, raj', raj', raj'
U,u
On the rocking waves and waters floats a cherished soul so precious,
Raja, riridi, airada riridi, raj', raj', raj'
U,u

Traveller's Prayer

Praise to the moon, bright queen of the skies
Jewel of the black night, the light of our eyes
Brighter than starlight, whiter than snow
Look down on us in the darkness below.
If well you should find us then well let us stay
Be it seven times better when you make your way
Be it seven times better when we greet the dawn
So light up our way and keep us from all harm.
Cast your eyes downwards to our dwelling place
Three times for favour and three times for grace
Over the dark clouds your face for to see
To banish misfortune and keep Trinity.
In the name of our Lady, bright maiden of grace
In the name of the King of the City of Peace
In the name of our Saviour who hung on the tree
All praise to the moon for eternity.
