Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oor Kirk Fair, and Ither Verses of That Ilk Oor Kirk Fair. It was twa years agone, or little mair, At gloamin´ sat I, in my wicker chair: For, I, that day, had muckle business done, Syne in the East had rose October´s sun: My laddie´d just put up the shutter airns; ´Tis toys I keep, and sweeties for the bairns: Complacent was I, in my widow´s cap, Dozing a-wee, hands folded in my lap: Thinking hoo God had blest me in my lad, While ither chiels were aft sae loose and bad; When who sud sudden glow´r within the door, Gie´ing a hasty glance aroun´ the store, But, Dr. Fergus Ferguson, who stands Ilk week before us, in his gown, and bands! It made my heart within, go pit-a-pat; For, Janet Dunbar was na used to that: An´ mony troublit thoughts began to thrang, O´ things neglectit, an´ things done wrang! - ´Tis strange, what thoughts begin to stir abroad, At sight of him they ca´ the man of God! But, saft his step, his tone, hoo delicate! Hoo daintily he teuk the chair I sate! I never saw a minister sae near, An´ sae I viewed him with a holy fear. He spak´ o´ Willie, an´ his manly ways: Willie´s my bairn, and I could stan´ his praise: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
