Chapter intro

Leddy launners

- ladybird.

Leddy, Leddy Landers,
Leddy, Leddy Landers,
Tak yer cloak aboot yer heid
And flee awa tae Flanders.
Flee ower the firth and flee ower the fell;
Flee ower the pool and the rinnin well
Flee ower the moor and flee ower the mead;
Flee ower the livin; flee ower the deid;
Flee East; flee West;
Flee til him that loes me best.
(Traditional children's rhyme)
