SONG: SCOTLAND'S WELCOME TO H.R.H. PRINCESS LOUISE, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Sweet rose of the south! Contented to rest Last Line: And the throne of our hearts is waiting for thee. Subject(s): Scotland | ||||||||
SWEET Rose of the South! contented to rest In the fair island home which thy presence has blessed: From the Highlands resounding, glad welcome shall float, And the Lowlands re-echo the jubilant note. Merry England has loved thee and cherished thee long, Her blessings go with thee in prayer and in song; Bonnie Scotland has won thee, and lays at thy feet Love tender and fervent, love loyal ard sweet. Chorus.Our own bonnie Scotland with welcome shall ring, While greeting and homage we loyally bring; The crown of our love shall thy diadem be, And the throne of our hearts is waiting for thee. Then come, like the sunrise that gilds with a smile The dark mountains and valleys of lonely Argyle; Golden splendor shall fall on the pale northern snow, And with roselight of love the purple shall glow. Though the voice that should bless, and the hand that should seal, Is 'away,' and at rest in 'the land o' the leal,' May the God of thy father look graciously down, With blessings on blessings thy gladness to crown. Chorus.Our own bonnie Scotland with welcome shall ring, While greeting and homage we loyally bring; The crown of our love shall thy diadem be, And the throne of our hearts is waiting for thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SCOTLAND'S WINTER by EDWIN MUIR ELEGY ASKING THAT IT BE THE LAST; FOR INGRID ERHARDT, 1951-1971 by NORMAN DUBIE FUSELAGE INSTALLATION by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA SHOOTING SEASON; IN THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN JOHN UPDIKE'S ROOM by CHRISTOPHER WISEMAN THE EXECUTION OF MONTROSE by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN THE HEART OF THE BRUCE by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN ROBERT BRUCE'S ADDRESS TO HIS ARMY BEFORE BANNOCKBURN by ROBERT BURNS CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
