Up in the Morning Early. By Burns, Robert. Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west, The drift is driving sairly; Sae loud and shill 's I hear the blast, I'm sure it 's winter fairly. Up in the morning 's no for me, Up in the morning early; When a' the hills are cover'd wi' snaw, I'm sure it is winter fairly. The birds sit chittering in the thorn, A' day they fare but sparely; And lang 's the night frae e'en to morn, I'm sure it 's winter fairly. Up in the morning 's no for me, Up in the morning early; When a' the hills are cover'd wi' snaw, I'm sure it is winter fairly.
