Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin!
Its silly wa's the win's are strewin';
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's winds ensuin',
Baith snell an' keen!

Country folk see nothing amiss
If weary gleaners share a kiss,
Thinking harmless snoggage
In the fields of foggage
A touching sign of harvest bliss.
