Book Description
Excerpt from The Heather Lintie: Being Poetical Pieces, Spiritual and Temporal, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect Such, imperfectly stated, are the grounds upon which I ap peal to a generous and sympathising public for further patron age, and to the penetrating critic for the favour of his kind indulgence, at least to the same extent as that generally con ceded to the illiterate working man's muse. Seeing my para mount object in thus appearing before the public, I trust my readers, though they may be at times inclined to condemn my presumption and untaught composition, will at least give me credit for and applaud my humble but honest motives. They need not look for high-flown sentiment or ambitious verse in the following pages. I do not attempt to soar to heaven's gates, singing like the sky-lark but my song is lowly and homely as the lilt of the little warbler whose name I borrow for the Title-page: and I fondly trust that it will be found, like it, true to nature, as it certainly is the spontaneous out pourings of my heart.

Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ... will be done," Yet meets that "will," if adverse, with a frown, Nor even adverse oft, when known aright, The opposite extreme ill-judged on sight. Inspiring thus with holy Job to say, "The Lord doth give, and why not take away 1" Since bliss unforfeited you must partake, Unless condemned for mere condemning's sake. Resigned, no more thy happy change I'll mourn, Though from my fond reluctant bosom torn. The cause, --you were entrusted to the care Of those unskilled in nursing flowers so fair, (In blest fulfilment of some wise design, In heaven matured as means to ends divine) As well as that thy natal lot was cast On life's bleak waste, exposed to every blast, Resistless sweeping, heedless of remorse, Defenceless victims down its onward course; Beneath whose ruthless and insatiate sway The sweetest bloom first droops into decay. No wall to meet the dark impending storm, Protective rose around thy lovely form, Nor culture o'er her friendly influence shed The soil intended for thy infant bed; But unreclaimed, ill suited to remove Thy growth celestial circling weeds above, Whose rude contrast would tend but to have shewn You charms possessed, rich, tempting, not their own, Which might to man become an easy prey, As insects, unsuspecting, to the jay. The Over-Gardener, well perceiving this, Removed thee to his flower-knot of bliss; There, close beneath his all-auspicious eye, Ever to bloom throughout eternity. ON THE EEV. HENEY SMALL. He has gone to the grave before us, In his prime, when he brightest shone, The soother of all our sorrows--The best of the good is gone.
