Poem by Robert Burns

On a Country Laird

Bless Jesus Christ, O Cardoness,
  	With grateful lifted eyes,
Who said that not the soul alone,
  	But body too, shall rise:
For had he said ‘The soul alone
  	From death I will deliver,’
Alas, alas!  O Cardoness,
  	Then hadst thou lain for ever!

1. Blythe Was She
2. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen
3. The Flowery Banks of Cree
4. The Banks of Nith (THE THAMES flows proudly to the sea)
5. Farewell to Ballochmyle
