The Poetical Works of Robert Burns/On Mr. M'Murdo
ON MR. M'MURDO.
Blest be M'Murdo to his latest day,
No envious cloud o'ercast his evening ray;
No wrinkle furrowed by the hand of care,
Nor even sorrow add one silver hair!
Oh, may no son the father's honour stain,
Nor ever daughter give the mother pain.
No envious cloud o'ercast his evening ray;
No wrinkle furrowed by the hand of care,
Nor even sorrow add one silver hair!
Oh, may no son the father's honour stain,
Nor ever daughter give the mother pain.
