DAMON AND SYLVIA by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: YON WAND'RING RILL, THAT MARKS THE HILL
Last Line: WHILE DAMON'S HEART BEAT TIME, SIR.
Subject(s): LOVE;
Yon wand'ring rill that marks the hill,
And glances o'er the brae, Sir,
Slides by a bower, where mony a flower
Sheds fragrance on the day, Sir;
There Damon lay, with Sylvia gay,
To love they thought no crime, Sir,
The wild birds sang, the echoes rang,
While Damon's heart beat time, Sir.
