Poem by Robert Burns

Lines Inscribed on a Platter

My blessings on ye, honest wife,
  	I ne’er was here before:
Ye’ve wealth o’ gear for spoon and knife –
  	Heart could not wish for more.

Heaven keep you clear of sturt and strife,
  	Till far ayont four score,
And while I toddle on thro’ life,
  	I’ll ne’er gae by your door!

1. The Flowery Banks of Cree
2. Farewell, Thou Stream
3. The Day Returns
4. As Down the Burn They Took Their Way
5. Theniel Menzies’ Bonnie Mary
