THE PLAIDIE, by CHARLES SIBLEY First Line: Upon ane stormy sunday Last Line: "wha kens but it may rain?" Subject(s): Love - Beginnings | ||||||||
UPON ane stormy Sunday, Coming adoon the lane, Where a score of bonnie lassies -- And the sweetest I maintain Was Caddie, That I took unneath my plaidie, To shield her from the rain. She said that the daisies blushed For the kiss that I had ta'en; I wadna hae thought the lassie Wad sae of a kiss complain: "Now, laddie! I winna stay under your plaidie, If I gang hame in the rain!" But, on an after Sunday, When cloud there was not ane, This selfsame winsome lassie (We chanced to meet in the lane) Said, "Laddie, Why dinna ye wear your plaidie? Wha kens but it may rain?" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I MIGHT GO TO THE NEXT FOOTBALL GAME by DENIS JOHNSON THE POOL by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE YOU NOW HOLDING THIS BOOK IN HAND by ALICE NOTLEY FALLING IN LOVE IN SPAIN OR MEXICO by RON PADGETT WHEN LOVE WAS BORN by SARA TEASDALE THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN by JAMES GALVIN THE ROOM OF MIRRORS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS STANZAS IN MEMORY OF THE AUTHOR OF OBERMANN by MATTHEW ARNOLD |
