Epigram On A Country Laird,

作品:Poems and Songs of Robert Burns  |  分类:其他类型  |  作者:Robert Burns

    epigram on a country laird,
    not quite so wise as solomon.
    bless jesus christ, o cardonessp,
    with grateful, lifted eyes,
    who taught that not the soul alone,
    but body too shall rise;
    for had he said “the soul alone
    from death i will deliver,”
    alas, alas! o cardoness,
    then hadst thou lain for ever.
