LOCH ERROCH SIDE, by JAMES TYTLER First Line: As I cam' by loch erroch side Last Line: For lovers soon should marry.' Subject(s): Love | |||
AS I cam' by Loch Erroch side, The lofty hills surveying, The water clear, the heather blooms, Their fragrance sweet conveying; I met, unsought, my lovely maid, I found her like May morning; With graces sweet, and charms so rare, Her person all adorning. How kind her looks, how blest was I, While in my arms I prest her! And she her wishes scarce concealed As fondly I caressed her. She said, 'If that your heart be true, If constantly you'll love me, I heed not care, nor fortune's frowns, For nought but death shall move me. 'But faithful, loving, true, and kind For ever shalt thou find me; And of our meeting here so sweet Loch Erroch sweet shall mind me.' Enraptured then, 'My lovely lass,' I cried, 'no more we'll tarry! We'll leave the fair Loch Erroch side, For lovers soon should marry.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD LASS, GIN YE LO'E ME by JAMES TYTLER |
