Verses To Clarinda Poem Robert Burns
Sent with a Pair of Wine-Glasses.
Fair Empress of the Poet’s soul,
And Queen of Poetesses;
Clarinda, take this little boon,
This humble pair of glasses:
And fill them up with generous juice,
As generous as your mind;
And pledge them to the generous toast,
The whole of human kind!
To those who love us! second fill;
But not to those whom we love;
Lest we love those who love not us—
A third— To thee and me, Love!
