Delphi Poetry Anthology: The World's Greatest Poems (Delphi Poets Series Book 50) - Plot & Excerpts
It was only to hear the yorlin sing, 5 And pu’ the cress-flower round the spring; The scarlet hypp and the hindberrye, And the nut that hung frae the hazel tree; For Kilmeny was pure as pure could be. But lang may her minny look o’er the wa’, 10 And lang may she seek i’ the green-wood shaw; Lang the laird o’ Duneira blame, And lang, lang greet or Kilmeny come hame! When many a day had come and fled, When grief grew calm, and hope was dead, 15 When mess for Kilmeny’s soul had been sung, When the bedesman had pray’d and the dead bell rung, Late, late in gloamin’ when all was still, When the fringe was red on the westlin hill, The wood was sere, the moon i’ the wane, 20 The reek o’ the cot hung over the plain, Like a little wee cloud in the world its lane; When the ingle low’d wi’ an eiry leme, Late, late in the gloamin’ Kilmeny came hame! ‘Kilmeny, Kilmeny, where have you been? 25 Lang hae we sought baith holt and den; By linn, by ford, and green-wood tree, Yet you are halesome and fair to see.
