Poem by Robert Burns

Lines Written on a Tumbler

You’re welcome, Willie Stewart;
  	You’re welcome, Willie Stewart;
There’s ne’er a flower that blooms in May,
  	That’s half sae welcome’s thou art.

Come, bumpers high, express your joy,
  	The bowl we maun renew it;
The tappit-hen, gae bring her ben,
  	To welcome Willie Stewart.

May foes be strang, and friends be slack,
  	Ilk action may he rue it
May woman on him turn her back,
  	That wrangs thee, Willie Stewart!

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
