EPIGRAM ON A COUNTRY LAIRD,_POEMS AND SONGS BY ROBERT BURNS

Directory:POEMS AND SONGS

EPIGRAM ON A COUNTRY LAIRD,

not quite so wise as Solomon.

BLESS Jesus Christ, O Cardonessp,

With grateful, lifted eyes,

Who taught that not the soul alone,

But body too shall rise;

For had He said “the soul alone

From death I will deliver,”

Alas, alas! O Cardoness,

Then hadst thou lain for ever.
