Poem by Robert Burns

Fragment «Now health forsakes that angel face…»

Now health forsakes that angel face,
  	Nae mair my Dearie smiles;
Pale sickness withers ilka grace,
  	And a’ my hopes beguiles.
The cruel powers reject the prayer
  	I hourly mak’ for thee;
Ye heavens, how great is my despair,
  	How can I see him dee!

1. Sleep’st Thou, or Wak’st Thou
2. The Bonnie Wee Thing
3. Farewell, Thou Stream
4. Craigieburn Wood
5. Lines Written under the Picture of Miss Burns
