Peg Nicholson was a gude bay mare, As ever trod on airn; But now she's floating down the Nith, And past the mouth o' Cairn. Peg Nicholson was a gude bay mare, An' rode thro' thick and thin; But now she's floating down the Nith, And wanting even the skin. Peg Nicholson was a gude bay mare, And ance she bore a priest; But now she's floating down the Nith, For Solway fish a feast. Peg Nicholson was a gude bay mare, An' the priest he rode her sair; And much oppress'd and bruis'd she was, As priest-rid cattle are, - &c. &c. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL THE LITTLE HOOFPRINTS by ROBINSON JEFFERS ROAN STALLION by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES DANCERS AT THE MOY by PAUL MULDOON CRAZY HORSE SPEAKS: 3 by SHERMAN ALEXIE A BARD'S EPITAPH by ROBERT BURNS A POET'S WELCOME TO HIS LOVE-BEGOTTEN DAUGHTER by ROBERT BURNS |
