And are ye sure the news is true?
  And are ye sure he ’s weel?
Is this a time to think of wark?
  Ye jauds, fling by your wheel.
Is this a time to think of wark,
  When Colin ’s at the door?
Gie me my cloak! I ’ll to the quay
  And see him...

Poet: Jean Adam

There's been a Death, in the Opposite House,

As lately as Today —

I know it, by the numb look

Such Houses have — alway —


The Neighbors rustle in and out —

The Doctor — drives away —

A Window opens...
