Paddy Scott Hogg Poems

Come gether roon an hear the fame
O a “Poet” wha fell tae shame
********* ********** is his name
At Glesca Cross.
...

Yours am I my lassie fair
Yours, my lovely dearie O;
Every heartbeat I declare;
Every rovin’ fancy, O.
...

After the storm
Is this the calmer waters
The peaceful harbour
After youth’s chaos
...

Twixt Portpatrick and Ardwell bay
In the south Rhins of Galloway
There is a cave, weel hid away
Upon a rocky shore.
...

(Chorus to start)

Take Me back on the Wings of Glory
Carry me far across the sea;
...

'To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour'. Blake - Auguries of Innocence
...

Swimming on the surface of the soft, silky sea;
Surfacing upon each wave that breaks free;
Running with the floodtide as the moon is full;
Brightly it shimmers silver upon our school.
...

The candles were lit
I watched her undress
Stood in awe
Our arms embraced
...

My nation’s spirit is my Queen
She rules majestic, evergreen
Caledonia’s voice for whom I sing
Immortal muse, my verses bring!
...

'Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears'
While we look back to the days of yore
'There’s a voice that will linger, forever in our ears
Oh Hard times, come again no more'
...
