SONG, by WILLIAM SOUTAR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Whaur yon broken brig hings owre Last Line: Gang doun wi' a sang, gang doun. | |||
WHAUR yon broken brig hings owre; Whaur yon water maks nae soun'; Babylon blaws by in stour: Gang doun wi' a sang, gang doun. Deep, owre deep, for onie drouth: Wan eneuch an ye wud droun: Saut, or seelfu', for the mouth; Gang doun wi' a sang, gang doun. Babylon blaws by in stour Whaur yon water maks nae soun': Darkness is your only door; Gang doun wi' a sang, gang doun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE NOTHING I by HAYDEN CARRUTH ANOTHER SONG WITHOUT WORDS by PAUL VERLAINE NOT ONE TO SPARE by ETHEL LYNN BEERS A PRAYER by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SORROW by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE UPON A WASP CHILLED WITH COLD by EDWARD TAYLOR TO S.M., A YOUNG AFRICAN PAINTER, ON SEEING HIS WORKS by PHILLIS WHEATLEY |
