The following ode was delivered by the author at the Centennial AnniversaryA
of Burns Ingersoll in presence of a large assembly in the yearB
-
This night shall never be forgotC
For humble life none now despiseD
Since Barns was born in lowly cotC
Whose muse's wing soared to the skiesD
-
'Round Scotia's brow he wove a wreathE
And raised her name in classic storyA
A deathless fame he did bequeathE
His country's pride his country's gloryA
-
He sang her hills he sang her dalesF
Of Bonnie Doon and Banks of AyrG
Of death and Hornbrook and such talesF
As Tam O'Shanter and his mareH
-
He bravely taught that manly worthI
More precious is than finest goldJ
He reckoned not on noble birthI
But noble deeds alone extolledJ
-
Where will we find behind the plowK
Or in the harvest field at toilL
Another youth sweet bard like thouK
Could draw the tear or raise the smileM
-
We do not think 'twas Burns faultN
For there were no teetotalers thenO
That Willie brewed a peck of maltN
And Robbin preed like other menO
-
'Tis true he loved the lasses dearB
But who for this would loudly blameP
For Scotia's maids his heart did cheerB
And love is a true heavenly flameP
-
So here we've met in distant landQ
Poor honest Robin to extollM
Though oft we've differedR
Let us stand united now in IngersollM
-
Burns sang so sweet behind the plowM
Daisies well wreath around his browM
Musing on thee what visions throngS
Of floods you poured of Scottish songS
-
Scott he did write romancing rhymesT
Of chivalry of ancient timesT
For tender feeling none can copeU
With Campbell the sweet Bard of hopeU
-
Eye with sympathetic tear inV
We'll shed it for exile of ErinV
And Tannahil while at his loomW
Wove flowers of song will ever bloomW
-
Hogg Ettrick shepherd did gain fameP
By singing when the Kie comes hameP
With good time coming Bard McKayX
Still merrily doth cheer the wayX
