Ogg, John
Day dawin
Cock crawin
Birdies tweetin
Yowies bleatin
Lift brichtenin
Mist shiftin
Spume driftin
Wavies braakin
Wand awaakenin
Fishies sweemin

An e risin sin
Winnenin fit aa
E day wull bring;
On e road

On mi back
A waanerin chiel
Nae a feel
Oot o schweel
Bit fouthy

Wrntin naethin

Trock on gear
Hakein wioot fear
Fower sizzons
O e ear
Harkenin unta e vyce
O e greenin lan
Warkin files
For mi maet
Mendin pans
An shairpenin blades
O scythe an saa
An spaad;
Fit gart mi wanner

A'll traik tae hivven
Or aiblins hell
Wytin mi turn
Wi beasts an chiels
For Daith tae chap:
E fisher wi his creels
An plooman wi his coulter
E fouthy an e gran
E miller an his mouter
Aa tak e een wye --Puirlik sowls
Seen happit ower
Wi sods an mools;
Bit noo A traivel

Nae heepie maks mi craal;

Syne wull A stairt
Mi lest lang traik
Amang e hamely starns.
