    Most weary seemed the sea, weary the oar,
    Weary the wandering fields of barren foam.”

    “Ye banks and braes o’ bonnie Doon,
    How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
    How can ye chant, ye little birds,
    And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?

    That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
    Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
    Departed never to return.”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
