Analysis of Heelands Compelling.



The clouds float slowly over
Their shadows dot the Land
The heather’s hundred
Hues the joy that
Scotsmen understand?
Don’t say the mistook
Scotch word.
Tis a drink like Bell, or Dewars.
And Scotsmen have a tendency
To daggers and to Wars.
And deer’s horn carved
And murals with flowers.
And bedding fresh and white.
(We came to Blair Castle.
Amen and Yay.
But Sir it was the Murrays’ hame
Sad to say.)
