Poem by Robert Burns

* * *

WHEN first I came to Stewart Kyle,
  My mind it was na steady;
Where’er I gaed, where’er I rade,
  A mistress still I had aye:
But when I came roun’ by Mauchline town,
  Not dreadin’ ony body,
My heart was caught before I thought,
  And by a Mauchline lady.

1. O, Wat Ye Wha’s In Yon Town?
2. Here’s His Health in Water!
3. The Rantin’ Dog the Daddie O’t
4. Stanzas on the Same Occasion
5. Ode, Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Oswald
