"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. "
