Poem by Robert Burns

On Maria Dancing

How gracefully Maria leads the dance!
She’s life itself. I never saw a foot
So nimble and so elegant; it speaks,
And the sweet whispering poetry it makes
Shames the musician.

        Adriano, or The First of June.

1. I See a Form, I See a Face
2. My Wife’s a Winsome Wee Thing
3. Mark Yonder Pomp
4. Farewell, Thou Stream
5. The Rantin’ Dog the Daddie O’t
