Comments about Thomas Campbell
The Dirge of Wallace
When Scotland's great Regent, our warrior most dear,
The debt of his nature did pay,
T' was Edward, the cruel, had reason to fear,
And cause to be struck with dismay.
At the window of Edward the raven did croak,
Though Scotland a widow became;
Each tie of true honor to Wallace he broke-
The raven croaked "Sorrow and shame!"

evoking as it were-his leavng all behind-but now we read-his every known line-
evoking as it were-his every known line-as i read it now-looking for a sign-
He was a very good poet.
