  • 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'.
