'S a sma' o' request

I'll get a blessin' wi' the lave,

And never miss 't!

Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin!

Its silly wa's the win's are strewin'!

And naething now to big a new ane

O' foggage green!

And bleak December's winds ensuin'

Baith snell and keen!

Thou saw the fields laid bare and waste
