...helps his wit.


There’s naething like the honest nappy;
Whare’ll ye e’er see men sae happy,
Or women sonsie, saft an’ sappy,
 ’Tween morn and morn,
As them wha like to taste the drappie,
 In glass or horn?


I’ve seen me dazed upon a time,
I scarce could wink or see a styme;
Just ae half-mutchkin does me prime,—
 Ought less is little—
Then back I rattle on the rhyme,
 As gleg’s a whittle.

...res of tropic summer shut 
And warm'd in crystal cases. 

But these, tho' fed with careful dirt, 
Are neither green nor sappy; 
Half-conscious of the garden-squirt, 
The spindlings look unhappy. 
Better to me the meanest weed 
That blows upon its mountain, 
The vilest herb that runs to seed 
Beside its native fountain. 

And I must work thro' months of toil, 
And years of cultivation, 
Upon my proper patch of soil 
To grow my own plantation. 
I'll take the showers as they fal...Read more of this...

For they mean he should roast in the sight of all.

CHORUS.

We mean he should roast in the sight of all.


IV.

Good sappy bavins that kindle forthwith;
Billets that blaze substantial and slow;
Pine-stump split deftly, dry as pith;
Larch-heart that chars to a chalk-white glow:
Then up they hoist me John in a chafe,
Sling him fast like a hog to scorch,
Spit in his face, then leap back safe,
Sing ``Laudes'' and bid clap-to the torch.

CHORUS.

_Laus Deo_---who bids clap-to t...Read more of this...

...the lusty goodman brings
His load of faggots from the chilly byre,
And stamps his feet upon the hearth, and flings
The sappy billets on the waning fire,
And laughs to see the sudden lightening scare
His children at their play, and yet, - the spring is in the air;

Already the slim crocus stirs the snow,
And soon yon blanched fields will bloom again
With nodding cowslips for some lad to mow,
For with the first warm kisses of the rain
The winter's icy sorrow breaks to tears,

...ebooks. She was an average
student, a daydreamer who might have been a scholar
if she'd only applied herself. She liked sappy music
and romance novels. She liked pies and cake
instead of fruit.
 The Queen remained the fairest in the land.
It was hard on Snow, having such a glamorous mom.
She rebelled by wearing torn shawls and baggy gowns.
Her mother would sometimes say, "Snow darling,
why don't you pull back your hair? Show those pretty eyes?"
or "Come on, I'll take you shop...Read more of this...

...I wonder if successful men
 Are always happy?
And do they sing with gusto when
 Springtime is sappy?
Although I am of snow-white hair
 And nighly mortal,
Each time I sniff the April air
 I chortle.

I wonder if a millionaire
 Jigs with enjoyment,
Having such heaps of time to spare
 For daft employment.
For as I dance the Highland Fling
 My glee is muckle,
And doping out new songs to sing
 I chuckle.

I wonder why so soon forgot
 Are fame and riches;

...s the earth 
Burn in a frenzy of breeding, -- smoke and flame 
Of lives burning up from agoniz'd loam! 
Those monstrous sappy jungles of clutcht growth, 
What can such fearful increase have to do 
With prospering bounty? A rage works in the ground, 
Incurably, like frantic lechery, 
Pouring its passion out in crops and spawns. 
'Tis as the mighty spirit of life, that here 
Walketh beautifully praising, glad of God, 
Should, stepping on the poison'd Indian shore, 
Breathing th...Read more of this...

...re picking; or, at prime
Of March, he wanders as, too happy,
Years ago when he was young,
Some mild eve when woods grew sappy,
And the early moths had sprung
To life from many a trembling sheath
Woven the warm boughs beneath;
While small birds said to themselves
What should soon be actual song,
And young gnats, by tens and twelves,
Made as if they were the throng
That crowd around and carry aloft
The sound they have nursed, so sweet and pure,
Out of a myriad noises soft,
