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 THE TEMPTRESS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON ILKA BLADE O' GRASS KEPS ITS AIN DRAP O' DEW by JAMES BALLANTYNE THE FIRST VOYAGE OF JOHN CABOT [1497] by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE OTHER SIDE OF A MIRROR by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE WINDSOR FOREST by ALEXANDER POPE THE MARSEILLAISE by CLAUDE JOSEPH ROUGET DE LISLE THE DEATH-BED by SIEGFRIED SASSOON THE MORAL FABLES: THE TALE OF THE COCK, AND THE JEWEL by AESOP |
