Auld Bawthren's Song :THE CAT The gudewife birrs wi' the wheel a* day, Three threeds an' a thrum; A walth o' wark, an* sma' time for play, Wi' the lint sae white and worset grey Work hard she maun, while sing I may, The gudewife rises frae out her bed, Three threeds an* a thrum. Wi* her cozy nicht-mutch round her head, To steer the fire to a blaze sae red, An' her feet I rub wi' welcome glad. I daunder round her wi' blythesome birr, An* rub on her legs my sleek warm fur; Wi' sweeps o' my tail I welcome her, An' round her rin, wherever she stir. The men-folk's time for rest is sma', They're out in the sunshine, an* out in the snaw, Tho' cauld winds whistle, or rain should fa', I, in the ingle, dae nought ava\ I like the gudeman, but loe the wife, Days mony they've seen o' leil and strife; O' sorrow human hours are rife; Their haud's been mine a' the days o' my life.
THE CAT Auld Bawthren grey, she kitten'd me here, An* wha was my sire I didna spier; Brithers an' sisters smoor'd i' the weir, Left me alane to my mither dear. As I grew a cat wi' look sae douce, She taught me to catch the pilf'rin mouse Wi' the thievish rottons I had nae truce, But banished them a' frae the maister's house. Mither got fushionless, auld, an' blin, The bluid in her veins was cauld an* thin, Her claws were blunt, an' she couldna rin, An' t* her forbears was sune gathered in. Now I sit hurklin' aye in the ase, The queen I am o' that cozy place; As wi' ilka paw I dicht my face, I sing an* purr wi* mickle grace, Three threeds an* a thrum, Three threeds an* a thrum. 35 Anonymous.
