To ha’e anither like’t the morn,

Or let a generation pass

That ane nae better may succeed,

Or wi’ a’ Time’s machinery

Keep naething new aneth the sun,

Or change things oot o’ kennin’ that

They may be a’ the mair the same?

The thistle in the wund dissolves

In lichtnin’s as shook foil gi’es way

In sudden splendours, or the flesh
