On Miss Davies

  

Burns Original

Standard English Translation

 

Ask why God made the gem so small,
And why so huge the granite?
Because God meant mankind should set
That higher value on it.

 

Ask why God made the gem so small,
And why so huge the granite?
Because God meant mankind should set
That higher value on it.
