Love is the soul's electric flame

Niamh holding an illustrated extract from one of Burns' less well known works, On Wedding Rings:

She asked why wedding rings are made of gold
I ventured this to instruct her
Why, madam, love and lightning are the same
On Earth they glance
From Heaven they came
Love is the soul's electric flame
And gold its best conductor
