Strana 241 - Still o'er these scenes my memory wakes, And fondly broods with miser care ; Time but the impression stronger makes, As streams their channels deeper wear.
Strana 142 - An' fill it in a silver tassie, That I may drink before I go, A service to my bonnie lassie: The boat rocks at the pier o...
Strana 59 - No sculptured marble here, nor pompous lay, 'No storied urn nor animated bust;' This simple stone directs pale Scotia's way To pour her sorrows o'er her poet's dust.
