4740 Robert Burns 1759-1796 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:4740
AUTHOR:Robert Burns (1759–1796)
QUOTATION:O Life! how pleasant is thy morning,
Young Fancy’s rays the hills adorning!
Cold-pausing Caution’s lesson scorning,
        We frisk away,
Like schoolboys at th’ expected warning,
        To joy and play.
ATTRIBUTION:Epistle to James Smith.
