SONNET TO BURNS.
George F Pardon (ed.), The Quarterly Magazine of the Independent Order of Odd-Fellows, Manchester Unity, Volume I, 1858), p.448.<\/p>\n

BURNS! from my childhood I have loved thy lays,
And they have taught me bravely to endure
All human ills. Thy muse doth make more pure
The heart that loves her: as in the darkest days,
For suffering Freedom, thou didst touch the chords
Of manly feeling in each British heart,
Till all the worthy wished to bear a part
In their dear land\u2019s redemption. Holy words
Of comfort for humanity did fall
From thy sweet lyre: tyrant and bigot quail\u2019d
Before thee, whilst all wise and good men hail\u2019d
Thee as a God sent poet. Cottage and hall
Have heard thy hymnings; and the trump of fame
O\u2019er all the world proclaims old Scotia\u2019s ploughboy\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
