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. I Gaed a Waefu' Gate Yestreen
2. The Flowery Banks of Cree
3. Blythe Was She
4. The Banks of Nith (THE THAMES flows proudly to the sea)
5. Farewell to Ballochmyle
