Poem by Robert Burns

Epigram on the Roads between Kilmarnock and Stewarton

I’m now arrived, thanks to the gods!
  	Thro’ pathways rough and muddy, –
A certain sign that making roads
  	Is not this people’s study.
And tho’ I’m not with scripture crammed,
  	I’m sure the bible says
That heedless sinners shall be damned
  	Unless they mend their ways.

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