by Burns, Robert
...NOW in her green mantle blythe Nature arrays,
And listens the lambkins that bleat o’er her braes;
While birds warble welcomes in ilka green shaw,
But to me it’s delightless—my Nanie’s awa.


The snawdrap and primrose our woodlands adorn,
And violetes bathe in the weet o’ the morn;
They pain my sad bosom, sae sweetly they blaw,
They mind me o’ Nanie—and Nanie’s awa.

To Zion's hill, and own their Lord;
The rising and the setting sun
Shall see the Savior's name adored....Read more of this...

These gorges, turbulent-clear streams, this naked freshness, 
These formless wild arrays, for reasons of their own,
I know thee, savage spirit—we have communed together, 
Mine too such wild arrays, for reasons of their own; 
Was’t charged against my chants they had forgotten art? 
To fuse within themselves its rules precise and delicatesse? 
The lyrist’s measur’d beat, the wrought-out temple’s grace—column and

...eyes, 
Which conquer'd hearts they ceased to prize! 
With listless look she seems to gaze; 
With humbler care her form arrays; 
Her voice less lively in the song; 
Her step, though light, less fleet among 
The pairs, on whom the Morning's glance 
Breaks, yet unsated with the dance.

While Sobieski tamed his pride 
By Buda's wall and Danube's side, 
The chiefs of Venice wrung away
