A Burns' night message from Spain

  In Scotia's glens, whaur the thistle's found,

 An' heather, purple doth abound 

The rain doon pours, a ceaseless spate,

Like tears frae heaven, pure an' great.


 O'er Spain's wide plains, sae warm an' fair, 

 Wi' olive groves an' rainfall rare,  

When it doth come 'tis a welcome guest,

It soothe the land is its gentle quest.


 But when these lands, sae far apart,

 Meet in the rain, they share a heart,

 For in its pitter-patter sound, 

Auld Scotia an' Spain are bound.
