EPIGRAM WRITTEN AT INVERARY by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHOE'ER HE BE THAT SOJOURNS HERE
Last Line: TWAS SURELY IN HIS ANGER.
Subject(s): INVERARAY, SCOTLAND;
Whoe'er he be that sojourns here,
I pity much his case,
Unless he comes to wait upon
The Lord their God, His Grace.

There's naething here but Highland pride,
And Highland scab and hunger:
If Providence has sent me here,
'Twas surely in his anger.
