Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, timrous beastie 0 what a panic's in thy breastie! Wi' bickering brattle! If there is another world, he lives in bliss. If there is none, he made the best of this. Mankind is an unco squad And muckle he may grieve thee. If there is another world, he lives in bliss If there is none, he made the best of this. O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, to wretches such as I. Gie me a spark o' nature's fire, that's a' the learning I desire. O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us. It wad frae money a blunder free us, And foolish notion. God knows, I'm no the thing I should be, Nor am I even the thing I could be. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed Or to victorie. Nature's mighty law is change. To see her is to love her, And love but her forever; For Nature made her what she is, And never made another. My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer. Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion. I have a hundred times wished that one could resign life as an officer resigns a commission. |
