Additional quotes by Robert Burns

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since days of long ago.

He turn'd him right and round about Upon the Irish shore; And gae his bridle reins a shake, With adieu forevermore, My dear— And adieu forevermore!
