The Burns Statue

This Statue, I must confess, is magnificent to see,And I hope will long be appreciated by the people of Dundee;It has been beautifully made by Sir John Steell,And I hope the pangs of hunger he will never feel.

This statue is most elegant in its design,And I hope will defy all weathers for a very long time;And I hope strangers from afar with admiration will stareOn this beautiful statue of thee, Immortal Bard of Ayr.

Fellow-citizens, this Statue seems most beautiful to the eye,Which would cause Kings and Queens for such a one to sigh,And make them feel envious while passing byIn fear of not getting such a beautiful Statue after they die.
