John Hamilton, Disappointed lover (1825)
“ A day they feed but sparely. Now up in the morning’s no for me, Up in the morning early; No fate can be waur in winter time, Then rise in the morning early. A cosey house, and canty wife, Keeps aye a body cheerly; And pantry stow'd wi' meal and maut. It answe a unco rarely. But up in the morning na, na, na, Up in the morning early; The gowans maun gient on bank and brae, When I rise in the morning early. This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
