Delphi Poetry Anthology: the World's Greatest Poems (Delphi Poets Series book 50)
“Delphi Poetry Anthology Lament for Flodden Jane Elliot (1727–1805) I’VE heard them lilting at our ewe-milking, Lasses a’ lilting before dawn o’ day; But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning — For the Flowers of the Forest are a’ wede away. At bughts, in the morning, nae blythe lads are scorning, 5 Lasses are lonely and dowie and wae; Nae daffin’, nae gabbin’, but sighing and sabbing, Ilk ane lifts her leglin and hies her away. In har’st, at the shearing, nae youths now are jeeri...ng, Bandsters are lyart, and runkled, and gray; 10 At fair or at preaching, nae wooing, nae fleeching — The Flowers of the Forest are a’ wede away. At e’en, in the gloaming, nae younkers are roaming ‘Bout stacks wi’ the lasses at bogle to play; But ilk ane sits drearie, lamenting her dearie — 15 The Flowers of the Forest are weded away. Dool and wae for the order sent our lads to the Border!MoreLess
