Poem by Robert Burns

Epitaph on Miss Jessy Lewars

SAY, Sages, what ‘a the charm on earth
  Can turn Death’s dart aside?
It is not purity and worth,
  Else Jessy had not died.

1. Sleep’st Thou, or Wak’st Thou
2. It Is Na, Jean, Thy Bonnie Face
3. Simmer’s a Pleasant Time
4. Fairest Maid on Devon Banks
5. The Bonnie Wee Thing
