The Poetical Works of Robert Burns/On Mr. M'Murdo
ON MR. M'MURDO.
Blest be M'Murdo to his latest day,No envious cloud o'ercast his evening ray;No wrinkle furrowed by the hand of care,Nor even sorrow add one silver hair!Oh, may no son the father's honour stain,Nor ever daughter give the mother pain.
