Excerpt from Leddy May: And Other Poems
Leddy May.
The gowans glint fu' bonnilie beside the castle wa';
The summer sun wi' lammer licht shines thro' the castle ha';
A leddy stan's, wi' tearfu' e'e, an' she is sabbin' sair -
"It's oh! an' oh! Lord Gregory, ye may return nae mair!"
"Come dry your tears an' smile again, an' listen, sweet he'rt mine,
The red cross gleams upon my shield - I maun tae Palestine;
But sune we'll rout the Saracens, sae, leddy, dinna grieve
But gi'e tae me your kerchief white to wear upon my sleeve.
