song—wha is that at my bower-door

tune—“lass, an i e near thee.”

“wha is that at my bower-door?”

“o wha is it but findlay!”

“then gae your gate, ye'se nae be here:”

“indeed maun i,” quo' findlay;

“what mak' ye, sae like a thief?”

“o e and see,” quo' findlay;

“before the morn ye'll work mischief:”

“indeed will i,” quo' findlay.

“gif i rise and let you in”—

“let me in,” quo' findlay;

“ye'll keep me waukin wi' your din;”
