BY AUGHNA BRAE, by                    
First Line: I mind the burn; I mind the brae
Last Line: Thon spire by aughna brae!
Subject(s): Churches; Memory; Prayer; Sabbath; Cathedrals; Sunday


I mind the burn; I mind the brae;
I mind the church an' spire!
An' och! our Sunday-ribboned hair—
An' us aroun' the fire!

The church had rainbow-windies, sure,—
Green glass an' rosy-white—
We said the sun come peepin' in
To watch the taper-light!

But, och! if only I could mind
Jist how wee childer pray—
I'd quit my strivin' to forget
Thon spire by Aughna Brae!
