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. 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
