BURNS sang of bonny Lesley As she gaed o'er the border, -- Gaed like vain Alexander, To spread her conquests farther. I sing another Lesley, Wee girlie, more alluring, Who stays at home, the wise one, Her conquests there securing. A queen, too, is my Lesley, And gracious, though blood-royal, My heart her throne, her kingdom, And I a subject loyal. Long shall you reign, my Lesley, My pet, my darling dearie, For love, oh, little sweetheart, Grows never old or weary. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ROLLING ENGLISH ROAD by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON PARTED by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SESTET SENT TO A FRIEND WITH A VOLUME OF TENNYSON by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THANKSGIVING DAY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH AMPHIPOLIS by ANTIPATER OF THESSALONICA DESCRIPTION OF THE ELFIN QUEEN by MARGARET LUCAS CAVENDISH |
