TO A MOUSE, ON TURNING HER UP IN HER NEST
WITH THE PLOUGH
You saw the fields laid bare and wasted,
And weary winter coming fast,
by Robert Burns
Small, crafty, cowering, timorous little beast,
And cozy here, beneath the blast,
You thought to dwell,
O, what a panic is in your little breast!
Till crash! the cruel plough passed
You need not start away so hasty
Out through your cell.
With argumentative chatter!
I would be loath to run and chase you,
That small bit heap of leaves and stubble,
With murdering plough-staff.
Has cost you many a weary nibble!
I’m truly sorry man’s dominion
Now you are turned out, for all your trouble,
Has broken Nature’s social union,
Without house or holding,
And justifies that ill opinion
To endure the winter’s sleety dribble,
Which makes thee startle
And hoar-frost cold.
At me, thy poor, earth born companion
And fellow mortal!
But little Mouse, you are not alone,
I doubt not, sometimes, but you may steal;
In proving foresight may be vain:
What then? Poor little beast, you must live!
The best laid schemes of mice and men
An odd ear in twenty-four sheaves
Go often awry,
Is a small request;
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
I will get a blessing with what is left,
For promised joy!
And never miss it.
Still you are blest, compared with me!
Your small house, too, in ruin!
The present only touches you:
Its feeble walls the winds are scattering!
But oh! I backward cast my eye,
And nothing now, to build a new one,
On prospects dreary!
Of coarse grass green!
And bleak December’s winds coming,
And forward, though I cannot see,
Both bitter and keen!
I guess and fear!

But little Mouse, you are not alone,
Lennie giggled with happiness. “An live on the

Go often awry,
down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,

Analysis
“Leeches as big as mice…”
!
(Where have you gone
charming Billy)
By saying that the leeches were as
big as mice the author is implying
that the leeches were big and
unpleasant. This is because mice
are bigger than leeches and are
unpleasant. Instead of stating the
facts the author used another
animal to describe both big and
unpleasant at once.
