    O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as others see us!

    And ev’n Devotion!

    O pale, pale now, those rosy lips,
    I aft hae kissed sae fondly;
    And closed for ay, the sparkling glance
    That dwalt on me sae kindly;
    And moldering now in silent dust
    That heart that lo’ed me dearly!
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
