How beauteous the landfcape, when Summer 
is dret 
With a ceftus of rofes fo gay ; 
But ah! when fhall Scotia with pleafure be 
bleft, 
Since her Burns fleeps fo cold in the clay ! 
Expands not thy breaft when the founds of 
delight 
Are heard at the ftill hour of eve; 
When the villagers fport by the moon’s filver 
light, 
The day’s wafting cares to relieve? 
‘His too was the rapture fuch fcenes could im- 
part, 
As the ruftic maids chanted his lay, 
For benevolence ftrung the fine cords of his 
heart— 
But that heart now lies cold in the clay! 
xom his country’s blue hills, while tlie fun’s 
golden beam 
Gives life to all nature around, 
Gr thro’ her lone glen winds the ferpentine 
ftream, 
' Shall the voice of the ee refound 5 
When Love with light heart feals’ unfeen. 
to the bower, 3 
His ftrains fhall frefh tran fport convey ; 
For his fpirit fhall reign in that dear blifsful 
hour, 
Tho? his body lies cold in the clsy ! 
Fancy wove the rich web or nis vifions divine 
_ With the rays of the foft blufhing morn ; 
His path Nature ftrew’d with her wild flow’rs 
fo fine» r 
And the dew, trembling, hung on the 
thorn; 
The painted trout leap’d from the fmooth- 
gliding Ayr, 
The lambkins danc’d foorting away, 
While his lyre breath’d the netes that his 
foul could enfnare— 
But now he lies cold in the clay!

And fill o'er the mountain, and thro’ the 
deep vale, 
As he fung of his Scotia fo dear, 
Want hung by his footfteps, to tell her fad - 
tale, 
For his Jane and his offspring were near: 
Ye fathers who feel, and ye fons who cam 
love, 
Your regard to his orphans difplay ; 
And with Currre’s warm heart your kind 
fympathy prove, . 
Since-the Minstreu fleeps cold in ad

ON THE DEATH OF AN ONLY CHILD, 
A FAIRER flow’r ne'er deck’d th? enas 
mell’d field, 
A lovelicr child wan never feen on earth 5 
The brighteft ruby to her lips might yield, 
The polifh’d diamond to her eyes of mirth; 
The mother’s jewel, and-the father’s care, 
. The lovely favourite of every friend, 
In her fond mother’s bofom plants defpair ; 
And can her father’smifery ever end ? 
How chang’d, alas! that eye where pleafure 
fhone 
Ts clos’d in cruel death’s eternal night 5 
Thofe lips no more their wonted beauty own$ 
Thofe once ted cheeks, as Parian marble 
white. 
With thy fweet fmile our hearts no more ara 
bleft, ys 
But many a tear fhall fall, and heart fhall 
mourn 5 . 
Thy foul has fied to everlafting reft, 
But left thy parents wretched aa forlorn.
