ODE TO ROBERT BURNS

Rovi'n o'er a Carrick glen
Oding wae a feather pen
Brukin thoughts o love and beauty
Erdin awe that is sae murky
Roosed be your works o rhyme
That they may last through endless time

Because abin them awe ye stand
Unca praised o'er every land
Remembered in our thoughts each time
New year revelers combine
Singing loud your AULD LANG SYNE
