<br/>List'ning, the doors an' winnocks rattle, <br/>I thought me on the ourie cattle, <br/>Or silly sheep, wha bide this brattle <br/> O' winter war, <br/>And thro' the drift, deep-lairing, sprattle, <br/> Beneath a scar. <br/> <br/>Ilk happing bird, wee, helpless thing! <br/>That, in the merry months o' spring, <br/>Delighted me to hear thee sing, <br/> What comes o' thee? <br/>Whare wilt thou
