Threyce welcome, blithe warbler, to me!

Noo Siddaw hes thrown a wheyte cap on,

Agean I'll gie shelter to thee!

Come, freely hop into mey pantry;

Partake o' mey puir holsome fare;

Tho' seldom I bwoast of a dainty.

Yet meyne, man or burd sal aye share.

O whoar is thy sweetheart, reed Robin?

Gae bring her frae hoosetop or tree:

I'll bid her be true to sweet Robin,
