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. Farewell to Ballochmyle
2. Fairest Maid on Devon Banks
3. O Wha is She that Lo’es Me?
4. The Highland Lassie
5. Weary Fa’ You, Duncan Gray
