Song—Fragment—Altho’ he has left me

Robert Burns

ALTHO’ he has left me for greed o’ the siller,
I dinna envy him the gains he can win;
I rather wad bear a’ the lade o’ my sorrow,
Than ever hae acted sae faithless to him.

    Plowmen
    by Robert Frost
    A plow, they say, to plow the snow. They cannot mean to plant it, no-- Unless in bitterness to mock At having cultivated rock.
