Untitled poem (or song) written by Robert Burns Wilson and given to Mary Mason Scott in August 1899. Burns also gave Scott a book of poetry, "The Shadow of the Trees" when he gave her this poem. [Transcription] The soul which itself knoweth not - Its own woes may but dimly guess; Its joys may be, in times forgot - At last - in time - when all is past - Which, in remembrance bring distress. And my songs - weaning of sad thought - Are happy when thine eyes shall bless, At last - O lovely one - at last - Alike the grief and happiness To Mistress Mary Mason Scott With "The Shadow of the Trees" this little song also - poor gifts - from her very unrich friend Robert Burns Wilson August 99- |
