Old Man Moses - Scotland Rises
Two Quatrain Verse's in Pantoum form . . .
OLD MAN MOSES - SCOTLAND RISES
1 Exiled from Israel and travelled by shore to thee fair lands
2 As he; descendant of Joseph and his coat of many colours
3 Old man Moses sat upon his rock; contemplating his woes
4 O’ nay - life is all but nothing more; than trouble and strife
5 Resiled to no such fairer country; of such beauty to behold
6 Moses ails but a vision of a land to his sons and daughters
7 Fought nay on blood; but peaceful endeavours of intellects
8 No fairer land is less worthy of our blood as Scotland rises
