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. For the Sake of Somebody
2. Song of Death
3. Kenmure’s on and awa
4. O, for ane an’ Twenty, Tam!
5. Ca’ the Yowes
