When he had got business to do in the air.
Ae nicht when a revel o’ goblins had been,
Far doun in the glen on the mune-lichted green,
Tam shared in their glee, and next morning telt a’
The wonderful things that he heard and he saw;
Then the fairies an’ goblins an’ witches did meet
By Garrit’s deep linn—a wild, lonely, retreat—
An’ wailings were heard on the dread midnicht air,
An’ Tam Giffen, next morning, was found lifeless there.
