An' ilk obeys its Maker's law, The ragin' sea, the driftin' snaw, The win' an' rain, A' birds an' beasts, an' flow'rs that blaw On hill or plain. But man, wha was tae be their chief, A rebel is, through unbelief. An* doom'd tae sorrows, woe, an' grief, An' cares, an' toils. His constant bent is on mischief, An' wars, an' broils. O, may God's grace descend like dew, An' our vile hearts again renew. An' bring His favour full in view Before our face. An' make us able tae pursue A heav'nward race. ...ISth May, 1855. 94 GOWD CANNA GI E HAPPINESS. GOWD CANNA GI'E HAPPINESS. NE'ER had much siller, an' far less o* care, O' health an contentment I've aye ha'en my share, '. 3ut tho' o' this warl's gear I never was rife, I somehoo or ither ha'e gotten a wife. She's no a great dandy, but looks weel eneugh. An' tho' she's wee boukit, may wear geyan teugh. But ought mair aboot her I'm no gaun tae tell, Nae farther, than she had nae mair than mysel'. For a' that, I like her, and she's fond o' me, Sae we are as happy as happy can be, We're no like a heap o' the folk in the warl', For love bides atween us, an' ne'er lets us quarrel.
