Additional quotes by Robert Burns

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!

But pleasures are like poppies spread, you seize the flower, its bloom is shed

"All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn,
Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn."

[Brigs of Ayr]
