"'Twas na her bonie blue e'e was my ruin:
 Fair tho' she be, that was ne'er my undoin.
 'Twas the dear smile when naebody did mind us.
 'Twas the bewitching, sweet, stoun glance o' kindness!
 
 Sair do I fear that to hope is denied me,
 Sair do I fear that despair maun abide me;
 But tho' fell Fortune should fate us to sever,
 Queen shall she be in my bosom for ever.
  -- from "'Twas Na Her Bonie Blue E'e" by Robert Burns (b. 1759-01-25, d. 1796-07-21)
