Of Mice and Men
Sylvia Duggan sends in this poem excerpt and test for us Tenth members. Answers in the comments section.
But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Who is it's author?

Why should the congregation familiarize themselves with this author?
