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. Their Groves O’ sweet Myrtle
2. The Bonnie Wee Thing
3. As Down the Burn They Took Their Way
4. Stay My Charmer
5. The Humble Petition of Bruar Water
