Read the last stanza from "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns.

Still, thou art blest, compar’d 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!

Explanation

I searched up the poem because you didn't include the whole poem. Basically, the speaker broke the mouse's nest / home. He feels very bad, and wishes that he hadn't broken the mouse's nest (this is why some of the answer choices have things to do with the past and present).
