That the great hoose o' Raploch got the shake And a' but levelled was in dire earthquake, Like what gangs by when careless miners draw Wood f ae the workin's an' the roofs let fa'.
And hidden forces wi' their rivin' po'er Rack a fair toun tae ruins in an 'oor.
— The time was midnicht an' the place a room Close to the slates in Raploch Ha', whaur gloom Seemed f'ae the flick'rin' candle dim tae flow Rayther than licht, sae blae its glim an' low.
A risin' storm the windows rattled hard Till every ...bolt an' fast'nin' shook an' jarred; And wi' ilk' blast a wearie, eerie hoo Swep' roon the lums an' birled rafters through.
By the fire-cheek a bodie, auld an' dune, Sat cowerin' f'ae the anger o' the win'.
As if its sabbin' sough was punishment for sin.
She was the howdie-wife, for on the bed A lane and sufferin' lassie low was laid.
Close grup't by pain an' fear that stoun'd an' stang An' held her meanin' there the hale nicht lang.
Ah ! Ne'er is woman in her helplessness Sae bare, as whan between the strain an' stress O' bitter travail she maun thole an' wait Wi' nocht o' shelter f'ae a lawfu' mate.
