Poem by Robert Burns

Inscribed on a Tavern Window

Thou Greybeard, old Wisdom, mayst boast of thy treasures;
  	Give me with young Folly to live:
I grant thee thy calm-blooded, time-settled pleasures;
  	But Folly has raptures to give.

1. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen
2. Blythe Was She
3. Farewell to Ballochmyle
4. Stay My Charmer
5. On a Bank of Flowers
