POLWART ON THE GREEN, by ALLAN RAMSAY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: At polwart on the green Last Line: To take a part of mine. Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers | |||
At Polwart on the Green If you'll meet me the morn, Where lasses do convene To dance about the thorn; A kindly welcome you shall meet Frae her wha likes to view A lover and a lad complete, The lad and lover you. Let dorty dames say na, As lang as e'er they please, Seen caulder than the sna', While inwardly they bleeze; But I will frankly shaw my mind, And yield my heart to thee; Be ever to the captive kind, That langs na to be free. At Polwart on the Green, Among the new-mown hay, With sangs and dancing keen We'll pass the heartsome day, At night if beds be o'er thrang laid, And thou be twin'd of thine, Thou shalt be welcome, my dear lad, To take a part of mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAMED DANCER DIES OF PHOSPHORUS POISONING by RICHARD HOWARD ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN A DANCER'S LIFE by DONALD JUSTICE DANCING WITH THE DOG by SUSAN KENNEDY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS |
