Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... But poortith chills before, and a' behind Like clouds appear the thunder wrath has broke; A restless, scattered, soured, half-frenzied mind I'm unco feared would a' tuition mock. Adversity, grim, gruesome, ruthless tutor, Thou hasna spared the rod nor lo'ed the child; Thy ill-timed nature darkened all the future--The passions thou might'st tamed are driven wild. My heart grows dull, and sickens at the thought Of life dragged out 'mong little tyrants, snools; Nor claim frae men o' wrath ae single thought, --I'd rather dwell wi' worms beneath the mools. At kintra fairs I've heard the hucksters cry That he wha never ventured never won; Tho' poor and auld, I'll venture yet and try, --That wight daes weel wha daes the best he can. This plan of life, at nature's ca' designed--Tho' rude the Scotch, you comprehend my aim--Should your approval fix my wandering mind, Be yours the praise; if not, Ise mine the blame. elegy. in imitation op drummond. Poor desolate-hearted lover, why complain, Till echo mourn thro' glen and lonely cave? The sad parental wail, tho' loud, is vain To break the slumbers of the dreary grave--song. 199 The dreary grave where lovely Mary sleeps. Ah me! poor Mary sleeps where none awakes. The thought of her in tears my pillow steeps--The love of life my wearied soul forsakes. She seemed an angel formed in mortal mould, To leave short while the mansions of the blest; But cruel fate, with rancour uncontrolled, Soon rudely rocked her lovely form to rest. But why should I, distracted, raving wild, Lament the happy change to Mary given 1 In this dark world of death, by sin defiled, She could not live, she's gone to dwell in heaven. Methinks I see her bending from the sky, With rays of radiant glory circled round; I hear her soothing.
