Try to recite the poem

Homework 1. Read the passage in Project and recite the poem. 2. Read and appreciate another Burn’s poem To a mouse. To a mouse Your small house, too, in ruin! Its feeble walls the winds are scattering! And nothing now, to build a new one, Of coarse grass green! And bleak December's winds coming, Both bitter and keen! You saw the fields laid bare and wasted, And weary winter coming fast, And cozy here, beneath the blast, You thought to dwell, Till crash! the cruel plough passed Out through your cell.
