Some books are lies frae end to end,
And some great lies were never penn’d:
Ev’n ministers, they hae been kend,
In holy rapture,
A rousing whid at times to vend,
And nail’t wi Scripture.

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o mice an men
Gang aft agley,
An lea’e us nought but grief an pain,
For promis’d joy!
Still, thou art blest, compar’d wi me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But Och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An forward, tho I canna see,
I guess an fear.

The letter B, poetry journey 2020. Burns is going to be fun — maybe. The first poem is very long & only semi-comprehensible and the key to the Scottish words is in the back of the book and very incomplete.
