Robert Burns
Again rejoicing Nature sees Her robe assume its vernal hues Her leafy locks wave in the breeze, All freshly steep'd in the morning dews.
Robert Burns
An atheist's laugh 's a poor exchange For Deity offended!
Robert Burns
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
