Strana 3 - I am nae Poet, in a sense, But just a Rhymer, like, by chance, An' hae to learning nae pretence, Yet, what the matter ? Whene'er my Muse does on me glance, I jingle at her. Your critic-folk may cock their nose, And say, ' How can you e'er propose, You wha ken hardly verse frae prose, To mak a sang ?' But, by your leaves, my learned foes, Ye're maybe wrang.
Strana 149 - O friend beloved ! I sit apart and dumb, Sometimes in sorrow, oft in joy divine ; My lip will falter, but my prisoned heart Springs forth to measure its faint pulse with thine. Thou art to me most like a royal guest, Whose travels bring him to some lowly roof Where simple rustics spread their festal fare And, blushing, own it is not good enough. Bethink thee then, whene'er thou com'st to me From high emprise and noble toil to rest, My thoughts are weak and trivial, matched...
Strana 313 - O we are knights of an iron crown ; No golden sword we wield ! We stand on earth, the free man's throne, With labor, skilled, our sheild!
