THE HEATHER GLEN, by GEORGE SIGERSON Poet's Biography First Line: There blooms a bonnie flower Last Line: Sing, o! The blooming heather, &c. | |||
There blooms a bonnie flower, Upon the heather glen; Tho bright in sun, in shower 'Tis just as bright again. I never can pass by it, I never dar' go nigh it, My heart it won't be quiet, Up the heather glen. Sing, O, the blooming heather! O, the heather glen! Where fairest fairies gather To lure in mortal men. I never can pass by it, I never dar' go nigh it. My heart it won't be quiet, Up the heather glen. There sings a bonnie linnet, Up the heather glen, The voice has magic in it Too sweet for mortal men! It brings joy doon before us, Wi' winsome, mellow chorus, But flies far, too far, o'er us, Up the heather glen, Sing, O! the blooming heather, etc. O, might I pull the flower That's blooming in that glen, Nae sorrows that could lower Would make me sad again! And might I catch that linnet, My heart--my hope are in it! O, heaven itself I'd win it, Up the heather glen! Sing, O! the blooming heather, &c. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHERE IS THE SWEETEST MUSIC? by GEORGE SIGERSON HAPPY WIND by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES PRO PATRIA MORI by THOMAS MOORE BUILDING BLOCKS by VIRGINIA A.
