 "What makes your feet sae braid?" quo' she

"What makes your een sae wan?"

"I've wander'd monie a wearie foot,

An' drearie sights I've seen!"

"But mind the wife an' mind the wean,

An' see that a' gae right;

An' I wil take you hame agen,

Afore the mornin' light.

An' gin they spier wha brought you here,

'Cause they were scant o' men,

E'en tell them that ye rade ahint

The Brownie o' Fearnden!"
