Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 2 Epistle to Hugh Parker. In this strange land, this uncouth clime, A land unknown to prose or rhyme; Where words ne´er crost the muse´s heckles, Nor limpet in poetic shackles; A land that prose did never view it, Except when drunk he stacher´t through it; Here, ambush´d by the chimla cheek, Hid in an atmosphere of reek, I hear a wheel thrum i´ the neuk, I hear it - for in vain I leuk. The red peat gleams, a fiery kernel, Enhusked by a fog infernal: Here, for my wonted rhyming raptures, I sit and count my sins by chapters; For life and spunk like ither Christians, I´m dwindled down to mere existence, Wi´ nae converse but Gallowa´ bodies, Wi´ nae kend face but Jenny Geddes. Jenny, my Pegasean pride! Dowie she saunters down Nithside, And aye a westlin leuk she throws, While tears hap o´er her auld brown nose!
