Dark lowered the g'oom o'er Scotia’s bila, Her glades and stubborn soil, And not a hope of brighter days Cheered her worn sons of toil. When lo! into their clay-built cots, : Astounding tidings came; f A pleasant lad, their Robty Burns, 4 Had won a poet's fame. y Nature had taught the rustic-bard The worth beyond compare Of Scottish scenes and godly homes, By Devon, Doon, and Ayr. A glory in the plowman’s soul ‘Transfigured common things; His nut-brown maids, his rustic friends, Surpassed all quecns and kings. He gave new language to the flowers ‘That bloom near bonny Doon, The songsters of the wood and field He taught a sweeter tune. The magic of his daring muse Changed Alloway’s ruined kirk To dancing hall, where auld Nick’s crew Displayed their master’s work. Scotland's last hope at Bannockburn— Bruce and his fearless band— Burns’ rapt soul saw their deadly charge For God and native land. He saw them rout proud Edward's host; ‘Gainst odds of one to three, And saved for all the coming years Their dear-bought liberty. If rank sew in the peasant’s garb Only a human clod, Burns dared proclaim the honest man The noblest work of God. The fine gold, known o'er all the earth, Unstamped by king or queen, in _no value give base or mean. To aught that In his dark eyes there glowed the fire Of manliness and power, Beneath whose glance the insolence Of haughty rank did cower. Glencairn, thy love for Robert Burns, And his warm love for thee, Will live, enshrined in deathless sow When earls shall cease to be. The lights and shades of joy and woe, That thrill the human heart, Burns painted in the glowing words Of noblest Iyric art. O'er Scottish peasants’ humble homes, A sacred light be threw, Revealing scenes that melt the heart And dim the eyes with dew. Homes, whence have sprung Old Scotia's sons, Who've won he~ grand renown, In every field where mind can win It's right to victor’s crown. Scots who have fought for Britain's weal In war's stern rank and file, And guarded, as with wall of fire, Old Albion's sea-girt isle. ‘The home-joys brought by Eden's Eve= Glad source of earthly bliss— From fairer worlds transplanted here, ‘To lend a charm to this. Burns found in Scotland's cotters’ homes, Beside the Ayr and Doon, ‘The thatched abodes of modest worth, Whence prayer rose oft aboon. He glorified the fairer half Of our half angel race, By painting with surpassing skill ‘Their loveliness and grace. The rustling of their dainty robes ‘Thrilled through his heart and mind, As 'twere the whirr of angels’ wings, Disporting on the wind. Mere bonnie than the “‘red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June;"” More charming than “the melody That's sweetly played in tune,” ‘Was the lassie of the harvest field, Whose labors he did share, Who sang for him in witching tones Each dear old Scottish air. Sweet Sonsie lass, thy winsome grack First kindled into flame ‘The slumbering genius of the boy, And wafted it to fame. Burns ruled his home with gentleness, With love and wisdom rare; Companton in his children’s tasks, Their good his constant care. Frngal and just with his small means, ‘Through all his life's brief span, He ne'er became a debtor-slave, But lived an honest man. And more than this; though scant of gear From his hard, drudging life, He ever made a happy home For bis loved weans and wife. He ever felt for others’ woes— ‘Those who did ne'er complain— And never stained hie manly soul With sordid love of gain. +] He read God's Word with sacred awe, With trembling hopes and fears; :| The record of bis Savior’s love Oft melted him to tears. In wood notes wild his bonnie Jean Beguiled his griefs and cares, By wedding his immortal songs ‘To Scotland's native airs. ‘When griefs oppressed his toiling friends, And sadly waned the day, His kindly words and genial wit Charmed all those griefs away. ‘The wounded hare, the mouse forlom, ‘Whose nest bis plow did rend, Saw only pity in his eye, ‘Their champion and friend. ENVOY. ©, Thou who giveth Ub'rally, And who upbraideth not; ‘Thou who didst spare the erring one, Though stained by many a blot; Great Advocate and Judge of men, In thy bright realms above, ‘We know Thou’lt rightly judge the man ‘Whose heart o'erflowed with love. —ZENAS C.
