WRITTEN IN VISTORS' BOOK AT THE BIRTHPLACE OF ROBERT BURNS by GEORGE WASHINGTON CABLE

First Line: OF HEAVENLY STATURE, BUT MOST HUMAN SMILE
Last Line: WHOSE THORNS ARE IN HIS HANDS.
Subject(s): BURNS, ROBERT (1759-1796); POETRY & POETS;
OF heavenly stature, but most human smile,
Gyved with our faults he stands,
Truth's white and Love's red roses tendering us,
Whose thorns are in his hands.
