THE WATERGAW, by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ae weet forenicht I' the yow-trummle Last Line: What your look meant then. Alternate Author Name(s): Macdiarmid, Hugh | |||
AE weet forenicht i' the yow-trummle I saw yon antrin thing, A watergaw wi' its chitterin' licht Ayont the on-ding; An' I thocht o' the last wild look ye gied Afore ye deed! There was nae reek i' the laverock's hoose That nicht -- an' nane i' mine: But I ha'e thocht o' that foolish licht Ever sin' syne; An' I think that mebbe at last I ken What your look meant then. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SKELETON OF THE FUTURE; AT LENIN'S TOMB by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE THE BONNIE BROUKIT BAIRN by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE WATER MUSIC by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE JOE HILL LISTENS TO THE PRAYING by KENNETH PATCHEN CITY VIGNETTE: RAIN AT NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE HE RULETH NOT THROUGH HE RAIGNE OVER REALMES by THOMAS WYATT DAYBREAK by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW TO STATECRAFT EMBALMED by MARIANNE MOORE TRUST by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE |
