Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hawick Songs and Song Writers As we stated in former editions, Hawick and round about Hawick has long been honoured as a home and a haunt of celebrated song writers. Leyden, in his "Scenes of Infancy," refers to the gentle captive of Harden, whom the beauteous Mary, the Flower of Yarrow, found amongst the spoils of her marauding husband Wat o´ Harden, and says of him, "His are the strains whose wandering echoes thrill The shepherd, lingering on the twilight hill." He, nameless as the race from which he sprung, Saved other names and left his own unsung." Another nameless bard, a Teviotdale shepherd, sang the dirge of the valiant laird of "Whitslades, wi´ mony a sigh and groan." Old Hobbie of Skelfhill, another of our local minstrels, sang of the "Braes of Branxholm" and of "Jean the Ranter," who had a small inn there; also of Captain Maitland, who fell in love with Jean´s daughter, and in the ecstasy of joy, cries out to Jean, "Gar flu the cup, gar fill the can," a call which has been appropriated by Sir Walter Scott in his song of Bonnie Dundee.
