188. Song—Strathallan's Lament

by Robert Burns
 THICKEST 1 night, o’erhang my dwelling!
 Howling tempests, o’er me rave!
Turbid torrents, wintry swelling,
 Roaring by my lonely cave!


Crystal streamlets gently flowing,
 Busy haunts of base mankind,
Western breezes softly blowing,
 Suit not my distracted mind.


In the cause of Right engaged,
 Wrongs injurious to redress,
Honour’s war we strongly waged,
 But the Heavens denied success.
Ruin’s wheel has driven o’er us,
 Not...Read more of this...

192. Song—The Bonie Lass of Albany

by Robert Burns
 MY 1 heart is wae, and unco wae,
 To think upon the raging sea,
That roars between her gardens green
 An’ the bonie Lass of Albany.


This lovely maid’s of royal blood
 That ruled Albion’s kingdoms three,
But oh, alas! for her bonie face,
 They’ve wrang’d the Lass of Albany.


In the rolling tide of spreading Clyde
 There sits an isle of high...Read more of this...

A poem for the Diamond Jubilee

by Pam Ayres
Dad took me to our local pub in 1953,
They had a television set, the first I’d ever see,
To watch a Coronation! I knew it sounded grand,
Although at six years old, the word was hard to understand.

But little kids like me, and others all around the world,
We saw the magic crown; we saw magnificence unfurled,
A brand new Queen created, the emergence...Read more of this...

201. Birthday Ode for 31st December 1787

by Robert Burns
 AFAR 1 the illustrious Exile roams,
 Whom kingdoms on this day should hail;
 An inmate in the casual shed,
 On transient pity’s bounty fed,
 Haunted by busy memory’s bitter tale!
 Beasts of the forest have their savage homes,
 But He, who should imperial purple wear,
Owns not the lap of earth where rests his royal head!
 His wretched refuge, dark...Read more of this...

The Battle of Culloden

by William Topaz McGonagall
 'Twas in the year of 1746, and in April the 14th day,
That Prince Charles Stuart and his army marched on without delay,
And on the 14th of April they encamped on Culloden Moor,
But the army felt hungry, and no food could they procure. 

And the calls of hunger could not brook delay,
So they resolved to have food, come what may;
They,...Read more of this...
