106 After visiting their Father's Grave.

(August 14th, 1803)

now are panting up life's hill!

'Tis twilight lime of good and ill,

And more than common strength and skill

Must ye display

If ye would give the better will

Its lawful sway.

Strong-bodied if ye be to bear

Intemperance with less harm, beware!

But if your Father's wit ye share,

Then, then indeed,

Ye Sons of Burns! for watchful care

There will be need.
