In our own wee way!”

“Who are you? Whence came you? What place are you going to?”

“Oh, we have dwelt over-long in this land;

The people get cross, and are growing so knowing, too!

Nothing at all but they now understand;

We are daily vanishing under the thunder

Of some huge engine or iron wonder;

That iron, ah!—it has entered our souls!”
