Robert Burns Quote

A gaudy dress and gentle air
May slightly touch the heart;
But it's innocence and modesty
that polished the dart.


Handsome Nell (1773) (also known as "My Handsome Nell"), st. 6. - Johnson's The Scots Musical Museum (1787-1796)


A gaudy dress and gentle air May slightly touch the heart; But it's innocence and modesty that polished the dart.

A gaudy dress and gentle air May slightly touch the heart; But it's innocence and modesty that polished the dart.

A gaudy dress and gentle air May slightly touch the heart; But it's innocence and modesty that polished the dart.
