they are my laddie’s hounds
That rin the wood at brak o’ day.
Wha is it taks them hence? Can ony say
  Wha is it taks my laddie’s hounds
      At brak o’ day?

  They cleek aff thegither,
An’ then fa’ back, wi’ room atween
For ane to walk; sae aften, I hae seen
  The baith cleek aff thegither
      Wi’ ane atween!
