Through the auld Kirk gate in the churchyard wall 
The rough green field where my ancestors lie
Woodbine and ivy around the graves sprawl 
With Rosemary and rue growing nearby 
Where wild rabbits mutter when screech owls cry
Safe in the shadow of granite tombstones
A jewel I loved, my grandmother’s bones
