Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Killantringan and Other Poems Killantringan Do you know West of Galloway By Killantringan´s shore, Where the North Atlantic waters Rush past evermore? They flow like a mighty river Gnawing the rocky strand, And across in sunny weather Gleams the rim of Ireland; There in the jagged inlets Of Sandeel Bay and Laird´s, Flying o´er wrack and shingle Go flocks of white sea birds; And the sunset paints in red and gold The rippling waves of the gulflets cold. Ah! how the ocean churns a foam When the wintry winds sweep down, And the frost-nipped sailor dreams of rest In some cosy cot or town. Then the friendly shores of Ireland Lie hid, and from the gloom The Scottish folk draw closely The curtains in each room. Such days by Killantringan, Mad monsters scour the land, And a fearful boom rings all along As they grind their prey to sand; While affrighted flights of screaming birds Flock beyond Knockinaam and Laird´s.
