Cowslips Soon Will Dance
Cowslips soon will dance in rings
Above the brimming dew;
Nesting birds will preen their wings
And learn their tender notes anew.
Bees among the whin will flit
Ere April’s moon is old,
And all the dusty roads be lit
With little lamps of starry gold.
The blade will quicken in the sod,
The white moth in her cell,
For winds blow from the south, and God
Is watching over Israel.

For winds blow from the south, and God

| Description | Marion Angus (1865-1946) was a key figure in the Scottish literary renaissance. A late starter, she did not publish her first collection of poetry, 'The Lilt and other poems' (1922), until she was 56. Heavily influenced by the Scottish ballad tradition and folk song, her work is mainly in Scots. She is one of the most important Scottish poets of the 20th century and her work deserves a wide audience. |
