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. 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
