First Line: High above the highland glen
Alternate Author Name(s): Ogilvie, Will Henry
Subject(s): Heather
HIGH above the Highland glen,
Flamed upon the purple heather,
Colours never mixed of men,
Tints no painter put together.
And I guessed that where he trod,
Quaffing his Olympian fill,
Rudely had some reeling god
Spilt his wine-cup on the hill.
