in you milker hite hawthorn bush,
Amang her nestlings sits the thrush,
Her faithfu make will share her boil,
Br wit his song her cares bequile:
While I we my sweet nurselings here,
Nae make to help, nae mate to cheer,
Pass widow'd nights joyless days,
While Willie's for frax Logan brais

I wae afron you men o stake,
That wettiren rouse to deadly hate,
As ge make mony a fond he art mourn,
fac may it on your heads returns!
How can your flinky hearts enjoy.
The widow's Wears the orphan's cry
But soon may freau bring hafifly days
And Willie, same to Logan braces
