Oh Last and Best of Scots! who did'st maintain Thy Country's Freedom from a Foreign Reign; New People fill the Land, now thou art gone, New Gods the Temples, and new Kings the Throne. Scotland and Thee did each in other live, Nor wou'dst thou her, nor cou'd she thee survive. Farewell! who living didst support the State, And coud'st not fall but with thy Country's Fate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS AFTER TENNYSON by AMBROSE BIERCE QUARTET IN F MAJOR by WILLIAM MEREDITH CROSS THAT LINE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE EMANCIPATION by ELIZABETH ALEXANDER |
