It's a poem written by Robert Burns. It's talking about a poor man and describes the things that should be how a man is honored for his honesty, character and intelligence, not his rank in society, his wealth or his titles. (Wow! I remember learning that poem when I was still in High School around 100 years ago. ) You have a wonderful weekend, too.
