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