TWEEDSIDE, by LORD YESTER Poem Explanation First Line: When maggie and I were acquaint Last Line: And lay my banes far frae the tweed. Subject(s): Love; Tweed (river), England And Scotland | ||||||||
WHEN Maggie and I were acquaint I carried my noddle fu' hie; Nae lintwhite on a' the green plain, Nae gowdspink sae happy as me. But I saw her sae fair, and I lo'ed, I wooed, but I cam' nae great speed; So now I maun wander abroad, And lay my banes far frae the Tweed. To Maggie my love I did tell, Saut tears did my passion express; Alas! for I lo'ed her o'erweel, And the women lo'e sic a man less, Her heart it was frozen and cauld, Her pride had my ruin decreed; Therefore I will wander abroad, And lay my banes far frae the Tweed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNETS ON THE SCENERY OF THE TWEED: 1.
