Walter Scott - Davie Gellatley`s Song
Work rating: Low

Young men will love thee more fair and more fast;
Heard ye so merry the little bird sing?
Old men`s love the longest will last,
And the throstle-cock`s head is under his wing.

The young man`s wrath is like light straw on fire;
Heard ye so merry the little bird sing?
But like red-hot steel is the old man`s ire,
And the throstle-cock`s head is under his wing.

The young man will brawl at the evening board;
Heard ye so merry the little bird sing?
But the old man will draw at the dawning the sword,
And the throstle-cock`s head is under his wing.
