Lass of Glenshee (3) 1997
bilby commented on the word snaw
Scots - snow.
The wintry west extends his blast,
And hail and rain does blaw;
Or the stormy north sends driving forth
The blinding sleet and snaw:
While, tumbling brown, the burn comes down,
And roars frae bank to brae;
And bird and beast in covert rest,
And pass the heartless day.
- Robert Burns, 'Winter: A Dirge'.
