Poem by Robert Burns

Epigram on Said Occasion

O DEATH, hadst thou but spar’d his life
  Whom we, this day, lament!
We freely wad exchang’d the wife,
  And a’ been weel content.

Ev’n as he is, cauld in his graff,
  The swap we yet will do’t;
Take thou the carlin’s carcase add,
  Thou’se get the saul o’ boot.

1. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen
2. Blythe Was She
3. Farewell to Ballochmyle
4. Stay My Charmer
5. On a Bank of Flowers
