On the death of Echo, a Lap-dog

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

In wood and wild, ye warbling throng, Your heavy loss deplore; Now half extinct your powers of song, Sweet Echo is no more. Ye jarring, screeching things around, Scream your discordant joys; Now half your din of tuneless sound With Echo silent lies. - SECOND VERSION Ye warblers of the vocal grove, Your heavy loss deplore; Now half your melody is lost, Sweet Echo is no more. Each shrieking, screaming bird and beast, Exalt your tuneless voice; Half your deformity is hid, Here Echo silent lies.
