George MacDonald - The Home of Death
Work rating: Low

"Death, whaur do ye bide, auld Death?"
"I bide in ilka breath,"
Quo` Death;
"No i` the pyramids,
No whaur the wormie rids
`Neth coffin-lids;
I bidena whaur life has been,
An` whaur`s nae mair to be dune."

"Death, whaur do ye bide, auld Death?"
"Wi` the leevin, to dee `at are laith,"
Quo` Death;
"Wi` the man an` the wife
`At loo like life,
Bot strife;
Wi` the bairns `at hing to their mither,
Wi` a` `at loo ane anither."

"Death, whaur do ye bide, auld Death?"
"Abune an` aboot an` aneth,"
Quo` Death;
"But o` a` the airts
An` o` a` the pairts,
In herts—
Whan the tane to the tither says, Na,
An` the north win` begins to blaw."
