ON RECEIVING A SPRIG OF HEATHER IN BLOSSOM	A
	-
No more these simple flowers belong	B
To Scottish maid and lover	C
Sown in the common soil of song	B
They bloom the wide world over	C
	-
In smiles and tears in sun and showers	D
The minstrel and the heather	C
The deathless singer and the flowers	D
He sang of live together	C
	-
Wild heather bells and Robert Burns	E
The moorland flower and peasant	F
How at their mention memory turns	E
Her pages old and pleasant	F
	-
The gray sky wears again its gold	G
And purple of adorning	H
And manhood's noonday shadows hold	G
The dews of boyhood's morning	H
	-
The dews that washed the dust and soil	I
From off the wings of pleasure	C
The sky that flecked the ground of toil	I
With golden threads of leisure	C
	-
I call to mind the summer day	J
The early harvest mowing	H
The sky with sun and clouds at play	J
And flowers with breezes blowing	H
	-
I hear the blackbird in the corn	K
The locust in the haying	H
And like the fabled hunter's horn	K
Old tunes my heart is playing	H
	-
How oft that day with fond delay	J
I sought the maple's shadow	L
And sang with Burns the hours away	J
Forgetful of the meadow	L
	-
Bees hummed birds twittered overhead	M
I heard the squirrels leaping	H
The good dog listened while I read	M
And wagged his tail in keeping	H
	-
I watched him while in sportive mood	N
I read ' The Twa Dogs ' story	O
And half believed he understood	P
The poet's allegory	O
	-
Sweet day sweet songs The golden hours	D
Grew brighter for that singing	H
From brook and bird and meadow flowers	D
A dearer welcome bringing	H
	-
New light on home seen Nature beamed	Q
New glory over Woman	R
And daily life and duty seemed	Q
No longer poor and common	R
	-
I woke to find the simple truth	S
Of fact and feeling better	C
Than all the dreams that held my youth	S
A still repining debtor	C
	-
That Nature gives her handmaid Art	T
The themes of sweet discoursing	H
The tender idyls of the heart	T
In every tongue rehearsing	H
	-
Why dream of lands of gold and pearl	U
Of loving knight and lady	O
When farmer boy and barefoot girl	U
Were wandering there already	O
	-
I saw through all familiar things	V
The romance underlying	H
The joys and griefs that plume the wings	V
Of Fancy skyward flying	H
	-
I saw the same blithe day return	W
The same sweet fall of even	X
That rose on wooded Craigie burn	W
And sank on crystal Devon	R
	-
I matched with Scotland's heathery hills	Y
The sweetbrier and the clover	C
With Ayr and Doon my native rills	Y
Their wood hymns chanting over	C
	-
O'er rank and pomp as he had seen	Z
I saw the Man uprising	H
No longer common or unclean	Z
The child of God's baptizing	H
	-
With clearer eyes I saw the worth	A2
Of life among the lowly	O
The Bible at his Cotter's hearth	B2
Had made my own more holy	O
	-
And if at times an evil strain	C2
To lawless love appealing	H
Broke in upon the sweet refrain	C2
Of pure and healthful feeling	H
	-
It died upon the eye and ear	D2
No inward answer gaining	H
No heart had I to see or hear	D2
The discord and the staining	H
	-
Let those who never erred forget	E2
His worth in vain bewailings	Y
Sweet Soul of Song I own my debt	E2
Uncancelled by his failings	Y
	-
Lament who will the ribald line	F2
Which tells his lapse from duty	O
How kissed the maddening lips of wine	F2
Or wanton ones of beauty	O
	-
But think while falls that shade between	Z
The erring one and Heaven	R
That he who loved like Magdalen	R
Like her may be forgiven	R
	-
Not his the song whose thunderous chime	G2
Eternal echoes render	C
The mournful Tuscan's haunted rhyme	G2
And Milton's starry splendor	C
	-
But who his human heart has laid	H2
To Nature's bosom nearer	C
Who sweetened toil like him or paid	H2
To love a tribute dearer	C
	-
Through all his tuneful art how strong	H
The human feeling gushes	Y
The very moonlight of his song	H
Is warm with smiles and blushes	Y
	-
Give lettered pomp to teeth of Time	G2
So 'Bonnie Doon' but tarry	O
Blot out the Epic's stately rhyme	G2
But spare his Highland Mary	O
