ON MR. M'MURDO by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: BLEST BE M'MURDO TO HIS LATEST DAY
Last Line: NOR EVER DAUGHTER GIVE THE MOTHER PAIN!
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP;
Blest be M'Murdo to his latest day!
No envious cloud o'ercast his evening ray;
No wrinkle, furrow'd by the hand of care,
Nor ever sorrow add one silver hair!
O may no son the father's honour stain,
Nor ever daughter give the mother pain!
