Fragment On Sensibility

________________________________________________
Title:     Fragment On Sensibility
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

Rusticity's ungainly form
May cloud the highest mind;
But when the heart is nobly warm,
The good excuse will find.

Propriety's cold, cautious rules
Warm fervour may o'erlook:
But spare poor sensibility
Th' ungentle, harsh rebuke.

1786
