467. Inscription to Miss Graham of Fintry by Robert Burns

 HERE, where the Scottish Muse immortal lives,
 In sacred strains and tuneful numbers joined,
Accept the gift; though humble he who gives,
 Rich is the tribute of the grateful mind.


So may no ruffian-feeling in my breast,
 Discordant, jar thy bosom-chords among;
But Peace attune thy gentle soul to rest,
 Or Love, ecstatic, wake his seraph song,


Or Pity’s notes, in luxury of tears,
 As modest Want the tale of woe reveals;
While conscious Virtue all the strains endears,
 And heaven-born Piety her sanction seals.

Form: Heroic Couplet
