A STIRRUP-CUP, by DOUGLAS AINSLIE Poem Explanation First Line: Lady, whose ancestor Last Line: Lochiel's granddaughter! | |||
LADY, whose ancestor Fought for Prince Charlie, Met once and never more, No time for parley! Yet drink a glass with me "Over the water": Memories pass to me, Chieftain's granddaughter! "Say, will he come again?" Nay, lady, never. "Say, will he never reign?" Yea, lady, ever. Yea, for the heart of us Follows Prince Charlie; There's not a part of us Bows not as barley. Under the breeze that blew Up the Atlantic, Wafting the one, the true Prince, the romantic, Back to his native land Over the water: Here's to Prince Charlie and Lochiel's granddaughter! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOOD FRIDAY'S HOOPOE by DOUGLAS AINSLIE LINES PREFIXED TO ST JOHN OF DAMASCUS by DOUGLAS AINSLIE TO A DEAD LOVER by LOUISE BOGAN THE MERCY OF LAZARUS by STEPHEN DOBYNS BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON THE LITTLE BEACH BIRD by RICHARD HENRY DANA (1787-1879) THE JEW TO JESUS by FLORENCE KIPER FRANK ECHOES: 9 by WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY |
