Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Old Gristmill

The Old Gristmill
(Not fit for the contest)


Way across the glen,
Many years gone passed
There lived a beauty of a woman
With her fine little lass

Her daughter was a charmer
And she could take me at will
To do a little grinding, 
At that wonderful old mill

Yes, those days seemed simple
Now that I am looking back
At how well she ground my corn 
And the way she held my sack

Times have really changed though
I buy cornmeal in a bag
And the girl from the Gristmill
Is now a mean old hag


Yes, those days seemed simple
Now that I am looking back
At how well she ground my corn 
And the way she held my sack


Times have really changed though
I buy cornmeal in a bag
And the girl from the Gristmill
Is now a mean old hag
