Iustorum autem animae in manu Dei sunt et non tanget illos tormentum mortis visi sunt in oculis insipientium mori et aestimata est adflictio exitus illorum et quod a nobis est iter exterminii illi autem sunt in pace.
“The souls of the just are in the hand of God…in the sight of the unwise they seemed to die and their departure was taken for misery and their going away from us was seen as utter destruction but, in truth, they are at peace”
Wisdom iii.1-3

Domine dilexi decorum domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae.

“O Lord, I have loved the beauty of Thy house and the place wherein Thy glory dwelleth”

The Flowers of the Forest

I've heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking,
Lassies a-lilting before dawn o' day;
But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning;
"The Flo'oers of the Forest are a' wede awa'".

Dool and wae for the order, sent oor lads tae the Border!
The Whigs for ance, by guile wan the day,
The Flo'oers o' the Forest, that fought aye the foremost,
The pride o' oor land lie cauld in the clay.

I've heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking,
Lassies a-lilting before dawn o' day;
But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning;
"The Flo'oers of the Forest are a' wede awa'".
