Poems and Songs of Robert Burnsby Robert Burns

Lines To An Old Sweetheart

Lines To Mr. John Kennedy

Motto Prefixed To The Author's First Publication

     The simple Bard, unbroke by rules of art,
     He pours the wild effusions of the heart;
     And if inspir'd 'tis Nature's pow'rs inspire;
     Her's all the melting thrill, and her's the kindling fire.
