don’t lose hope when you are losing
don’t fool yourself with your thoughts fading
your mind shows a voice talking to you
tell it what and who are you
you’re brave, strong, and smart
will you cry for not winning a lot?
of course man you are born to win
if you’re a man tear your din!
heap your mind, you’ll hear a thought
see your past, the ways you fought
you’re not a man who wants to lose
change your ways, your thoughts, your views
if born to lose, why were you born?
think your ways, your cries now torn
reap your thoughts as the flaring sun
tear your din, with hope you run!
one day you’ll see your life washed away by tears
stay brave, stay live, tell your heart you’re here
your heart reaps your joy and sorrow
but who you are don’t mind a tomorrow
your words may fall and days fade away
you may be washed along your life’s way
but never let go your hopeful thought
and you will be hailed a lot,
ONE DAY!

- Robert Burns: A Dream: Thoughts, words, and deeds, the Statute blames with reason; But surely Dreams were ne’er indicted Treason. On reading, in the public papers, the Laureate’s Ode, with the other parade of June 4th, 1786, the Author was no sooner dropt asleep, than he imagined himself transported to the Birth-day Levee: and, in his dreaming fancy, made the following Address:
- Robert Burns: Address Of Beelzebub: To the Right Honourable the Earl of Breadalbane, President of the Right Honourable and Honourable the Highland Society, which met on the 23rd of May last at the Shakespeare, Covent Garden, to concert ways and means to frustrate the designs of five hundred Highlanders, who, as the Society were informed by Mr. M’Kenzie of Applecross, were so audacious as to attempt an escape from their lawful lords and masters whose property they were, by emigrating from the lands of Mr. Macdonald of Glengary to the wilds of Canada, in search of that fantastic thing-Liberty.
