Summary

Robert Tannahill,  Seraphim (November 2020)

“ Blaw your warst ye rain and win,
Since Maggy, now I'm in beside ye.
Now since I'm in beside you,
Now since I'm in beside you, Maggie,
What care I for howlet's cry,
For boor-tree-bank or warlock cragie.

Robert Tannahill,  Seraphim (November 2020)

“ To muse on sweet Jessy, the flower o' Dumblain.
How sweet is the brier, wi' its saft folding blossom,
An' sweet is the birk, wi' its mantle o' green ;
Yet sweeter, an' fairer, an dear to this bosom,
Is lovely young Jessy, the flower of Dumblain.
Is lovely, &c.
She's modest as ony, an' blyth a she's bonny,
For guileless simplicity marks her its ain;
An' far be the villain, divested o' feeling,
Wad blight in its bloom the sweet flower o' Dumblain.
