Puil wi Turtles

18th October 2012

Ibn Sara: Moorish Poet. Inglis Translation, Harold Moorland.

Deep is the puil, that ower-reams
Aneth the cweel, bricht, shooers
Some like a greetin ee aneth
Lashes o trimmlin flooers

See foo the blythesome turtles play!
Christians on sodjer’s darg
That lichtsome-lowp the lee-lang day
Weirin a careless targ.
