TO A MOUSE

Robot Anatomy : Mickey Mouse © Yves-José Malgorn 2012

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Still thou are blest, compared wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e'e,
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear!

From TO A MOUSE ON TURNING UP HER NEST WITH THE PLOUGH (1785) by Robert Burns
