Light and dark on Border hills...

There is an old Scottish favourite metrical psalm

I to the hills will lift mine eyes;
From whence doth come mine aid?

Who heaven and earth hath made.


but the shepherds changed it to...

i to the hills will lift mine eyes;
and search for coupit yowes.....


= female sheep that have fallen over and can't get back up on their own because of their heavy coats.
