Reply To The Toast Of Scottish Poets.
Burns sang so sweet behind the plow, Daisies we'll wreath around his brow, Musing on thee what visions throng, Of floods you poured of Scottish song. Scott he did write romancing rhymes Of chivalry of ancient times; For tender feeling none can cope With Campbell the sweet Bard of hope. Eye with sympathetic tear in Will shed it for Exile of Erin, And Tannahill while at his loom Wove flowers of song will ever bloom. Hogg, Ettrick Shepherd, did gain fame By singing when the kye comes hame, With good time coming Bard McKay Still merrily doth cheer the way.
