THE PLAINT OF THE CAPTIVE FIELD MOUSE
Reading edition
(This Field Mouse, by the way, was in the Elfin Fair)
I am the one living Field Mousie In captivity (O pity me!) Ah! why did I leave my warm soft housie Sae easily! A silver collar, all bent about too, Round my neck is curled. (O pity me!) I am a captive, who went out to See the world!
