LAIRD BROOKS OF HODDAM'S GRAVE by EDITH M. GILL

First Line: THERE'S MANY A GRAVE WHERE IN SCOTLAND I'D SLEEP
Last Line: IF I COULD GET UP NOW AND THEN FOR A PEEP.
Subject(s): GRAVES; SCOTLAND; SLEEP; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

There's many a grave where in Scotland I'd sleep
If I could get up now and then for a peep
At harebells and daisies abloom on my grave
And pastures with cows, meadows dotted with sheep,
At haze-veiled hills, fleece clouds passing over, --
For a whiff of mown hay, or fragrant white clover --
There's many a grave where in Scotland I'd sleep
If I could get up now and then for a peep.
