To Burns.
Suggested on returning home for my holidays by an old portrait of the poet, which hangs in my room. Old friend! - I always loved thee; In childhood's early days, Delighted I would listen With laughter to thy lays. And better still I loved thee, To riper boyhood grown; Because thou wert the pride of The land that's part my own. But with devotion deepened I greet thee now anew, Of love, because thou singest So simple, sweet, and true.
