Translated into English (sorry Robert):

Oh would that He the gift to give us
to see ourselves as other's see us
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion.



Or, the way that all Scots know it and the way Rabbie intended it to be read:


Oh wid tha' He the gift tae gie us
Tae see oorsels as ither's see us
It wid frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion.

Robert Burns

Dang it! Was I ever bruised.
