| The 100th anniversary o the death O a gweed mannie fae Dunbar Fa left ess shores fer America Stravaigin near an far . John Muir wis ess chiel’s name An environmentalist o renown A philosopher an explorer Cwid be added ti his crown . In America he is weel kent Yet in Scotia nae sae muckle Ti fin oot aboot ess legend Doon ti learnin we maan buckle . The faither o conservation in USA A founder o the Sierra Club Is jist twa o the monikers On John Muir we cwid dub |
Explore, discover an cherish Wis ess mannie’s philosophy We’re aa pairt o the naitural warld Love wild places wis his decree . He fair likit the wilderness Free fae touch o human han Ower muckle interference fae man The chiel jist cwidna stan . The John Muir Trust in Scotland Cairries on Muir’s philosophy An maks sure we learn mair An git telt o his legacy . Cherish weel oor wild lans Try oot the John Muir Way Connect wi the mannie’s ideas An lit nature hae its say |
