Soul of the Poet wheresoe'er	A
Reclaimed from earth thy genius plume	B
Her wings of immortality	C
Suspend thy harp in happier sphere	A
And with thine influence illume	B
The gladness of our jubilee	C
	-
And fly like fiends from secret spell	D
Discord and Strife at Burn's name	B
Exorcised by his memory	C
For he was chief of bards that swell	D
The heart with songs of social flame	B
And high delicious revelry	C
	-
And Love's own strain to him was given	E
To warble all its ecstacies	F
With Pythian words unsought unwilled	C
Love the surviving gift of Heaven	E
The choicest sweet of Paradise	F
In life's else bitter cup distilled	C
	-
Who that has melted o'er his lay	G
To Mary's soul in Heaven above	H
But pictured sees in fancy strong	I
The landscape and the livelong day	G
That smiled upon their mutual love	H
Who that has felt forgets the song	I
	-
Nor skilled one flame alone to fan	J
His country's high souled peasantry	C
What patriot pride he taught how much	K
To weigh the inborn worth of man	J
And rustic life and poverty	C
Grow beautiful beneath his touch	K
	-
Him in his clay built cot the Muse	F
Entranced and showed him all the forms	F
Of fairy light and wizard gloom	B
That only gifted Poet views	F
The Genii of the floods and storms	F
And martial shades from Glory's tomb	B
	-
On Bannock field what thoughts arouse	F
The swain whom Burns's song inspires	F
Beat not his Caledonian veins	F
As o'er the heroic turf he ploughs	F
With all the spirit of his sires	F
And all their scorn of death and chains	F
	-
And see the Scottish exile tanned	C
By many a far and foreign clime	B
Bend o'er his home born verse and weep	L
In memory of his native land	C
With love that scorns the lapse of time	B
And ties that stretch beyond the deep	L
	-
Encamped by Indian rivers wild	C
The soldier resting on his arms	F
In Burns's carol sweet recalls	F
The scenes that blessed him when a child	C
And glows and gladdens at the charms	F
Of Scotia's woods and waterfalls	F
	-
O deem not 'midst this worldly strife	M
An idle art the Poet brings	F
Let high Philosophy control	N
And sages calm the stream of life	M
'T is he refines its fountain springs	F
The nobler passions of the soul	N
	-
It is the muse that consecrates	F
The native banner of the brave	O
Unfurling at the trumpet's breath	P
Rose thistle harp 't is she elates	F
	-
To sweep the field or ride the wave	O
A sunburst in the storm of death	P
	-
And thou young hero when thy pall	Q
Is crossed with mournful sword and plume	B
When public grief begins to fade	C
And only tears of kindred fall	R
Who but the bard shall dress thy tomb	B
And greet with fame thy gallant shade	C
	-
Such was the soldier Burns forgive	S
That sorrows of mine own intrude	C
In strains to thy great memory due	C
In verse like thine oh Could he live	T
The friend I mourned the brave the good	C
Edward that died at Waterloo	C
	-
Farewell high chief of Scottish song	I
That couldst alternately impart	C
Wisdom and rapture in thy page	U
And brand each vice with satire strong	I
Whose lines are mottoes of the heart	C
Whose truths electrify the sage	U
	-
Farewell and ne'er may Envy dare	A
To wring one baleful poison drop	V
From the crushed laurels of thy bust	C
But while the lark sings sweet in air	A
Still may the grateful pilgrim stop	V
To bless the spot that holds thy dust	C
