ON LEAVING MRS. BROWN'S LODGINGS, by WALTER SCOTT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: So goodbye, mrs. Brown Last Line: But all's one for that, since I must and will away. Subject(s): Farewell; Moving & Movers; Travel; Parting; Journeys; Trips | ||||||||
So goodbye, Mrs. Brown, I am going out of town, Over dale, over down, Where bugs bite not, Where lodgers fight not, Where below you chairmen drink not, Where beside you gutters stink not; But all is fresh and clean and gay, And merry lambkins sport and play, And they toss with rakes uncommonly short hay, Which looks as if it had been sown only the other day, And where oats are at twenty-five shillings a boll they say; But all's one for that, since I must and will away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
