Inscription on the Well
"Hail to your dimplin' wimplin drop
Clear, caller, caul'
That bids the drouthy traveller stop
And tak 'his fill'
Hail to your heart-reviving tipple
Enticing slee wi twinklin' ripple,
Thou crystal milk frae Nature's nipple
Wee Mountain Well!
Born of the whirlin' wintry flake
Of Arctic shower
When charging storms the welkin rake
And scrudge the bower,
You joukit frae the furious blast
And seepin' doon the mountain past
Till here my craig you weet at last
Sine ower the stour"
