Poem by Robert Burns

Lines Written on a Pane of Glass in the Inn at Noffat

ASK why God made the gem so small,
  An’ why so huge the granite?
Because God meant mankind should set
  That higher value on it.

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