See noo, the dawn o' better days, the nicht o' sorrow flown. Part Third. An' still the mither's couthie han' her darlin' wean caress'd While she, like a wee frichtit doo, still close an' closer press'd; The shilpit cat upon the hearth kept up a purrin' din, "While thro' the winnock on them baith the moon kept glowrin' in. In ilka corner o' the hoose cauld poortith micht be seen;--The furniture nae doot was scant, yet a' was snod an' clean--A pickle meal far doon the pock was a' their present storeBut, hark!--she hears a weel ken't han' play dirl upon the door.
