| - | |
| TOO frail to keep the lofty vow | B |
| That must have followed when his brow | B |
| Was wreathed 'The Vision' tells us how | B |
| With holly spray | C |
| He faltered drifted to and fro | D |
| And passed away | C |
| - | |
| Well might such thoughts dear Sister throng | E |
| Our minds when lingering all too long | E |
| Over the grave of Burns we hung | F |
| In social grief | G |
| Indulged as if it were a wrong | E |
| To seek relief | G |
| - | |
| But leaving each unquiet theme | H |
| Where gentlest judgments may misdeem | H |
| And prompt to welcome every gleam | H |
| Of good and fair | I |
| Let us beside this limpid Stream | H |
| Breathe hopeful air | I |
| - | |
| Enough of sorrow wreck and blight | J |
| Think rather of those moments bright | J |
| When to the consciousness of right | J |
| His course was true | K |
| When Wisdom prospered in his sight | J |
| And virtue grew | K |
| - | |
| Yes freely let our hearts expand | L |
| Freely as in youth's season bland | L |
| When side by side his Book in hand | L |
| We wont to stray | C |
| Our pleasure varying at command | L |
| Of each sweet Lay | C |
| - | |
| How oft inspired must he have trod | M |
| These pathways yon far stretching road | N |
| There lurks his home in that Abode | N |
| With mirth elate | O |
| Or in his nobly pensive mood | P |
| The Rustic sate | O |
| - | |
| Proud thoughts that Image overawes | A |
| Before it humbly let us pause | A |
| And ask of Nature from what cause | A |
| And by what rules | A |
| She trained her Burns to win applause | A |
| That shames the Schools | A |
| - | |
| Through busiest street and loneliest glen | Q |
| Are felt the flashes of his pen | Q |
| He rules 'mid winter snows and when | Q |
| Bees fill their hives | A |
| Deep in the general heart of men | Q |
| His power survives | A |
| - | |
| What need of fields in some far clime | H |
| Where Heroes Sages Bards sublime | H |
| And all that fetched the flowing rhyme | H |
| From genuine springs | A |
| Shall dwell together till old Time | H |
| Folds up his wings | A |
| - | |
| Sweet Mercy to the gates of Heaven | R |
| This Minstrel lead his sins forgiven | R |
| The rueful conflict the heart riven | R |
| With vain endeavour | S |
| And memory of Earth's bitter leaven | R |
| Effaced for ever | S |
| - | |
| But why to Him confine the prayer | I |
| When kindred thoughts and yearnings bear | I |
| On the frail heart the purest share | I |
| With all that live | T |
| The best of what we do and are | U |
| Just God forgive | V |
