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 CAMPUS SONNET: MAY MORNING by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SAVORING THE PAST by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MARY AND GABRIEL by RUPERT BROOKE AN ANCIENT PROPHECY by PHILIP FRENEAU SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 12.
