A Portrait of Robert Burns Robert Burns

1793 · Poem

Down the Burn, Davie


As down the burn they took their way,And thro’ the flowery dale;His cheek to hers he aft did lay,And love was aye the tale:
With “Mary, when shall we return,Sic pleasure to renew?”Quoth Mary—“Love, I like the burn,And aye shall follow you.”
