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 CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE HILL ABOVE THE MINE by MALCOLM COWLEY EPITAPH: FOR MY GRANDMOTHER by COUNTEE CULLEN COWSLIPS AND LARKS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES HOLY SONNET: ANNUNCIATION by JOHN DONNE THE PROGRESS OF POESY; A PINDARIC ODE by THOMAS GRAY THE ANGELUS; HEARD AT THE MISSION DOLORES IN SAN FRANCISCO, 1868 by FRANCIS BRET HARTE SONNET ON SITTING DOWN TO READ KING LEAR ONCE AGAIN by JOHN KEATS |
