Robert Burns Translation: To a Mouse
To a Mouse
by Robert Burns
translation/modernization/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Sleek, tiny, timorous, cowering beast,
Why’s such panic in your breast?
Why dash away, so quick, so rash,
In a frenzied flash
When I would be loath to run after you

The Ballad of Agnes Bean
From ‘The Woe of Roanoke ‘
It wasn’t just the gale that chilled his skin
As he mulled on the cannibal captured within.

To rap tap the gate of the jail...

Premium Member When Something Special Happens again, and again, finally
We said goodbye to August, 2015, and in that year we shared
The day we met, our futures set, in unison we're declared

That Christmas came and went, knowing we'd share it soon
Eight Thousand Miles apart, it...

Premium Member Archer of the Forest
Deep in the forest
Outlaws lie in wait
For well off noblemen
Their monies to take
 
They steal from the rich
And share with the poor
How long can they hide
In their forest so pure
 
This band of commoners
Go against...

As i am now down in the drain
Being cosy and warm

Something brown brushed me

Partir c'est mourir un peu..

Att skiljas är att dö en smula.
Av barn, fyllon och dårar får man höra sanningen.
Det är bäst att bita i det sura äpplet.
Den dagen, den sorgen.

Scotland
I couldn't give a toss for the caber
cromach bagpipes sporran or kilt
(a fling's the thing)

Come By the Sword - Die By the Sword
No-one cared

a jot for him

He only lived for

whisky and gin

His philosophy

is only this

Stick one first

A Scottish kiss

Not gang owned

Though sought was he

A kneecapping

he did for a fee

If you live

by the sword

you'll die

the same

But,
