Walter Wingate Poems

You've hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!
...

My heart absorbs me more and more;
My world of friendship narrows in.
The new I hardly care to win;
The old are fewer than of yore.
...

Dull tenement and muddy street
And sober working day:
How came a dawn so rarely sweet
Above a world so grey?
...

I used to wonder if I really loved
The old companions that I thought so dear;
For now that change has set us far removed
...

‘Tis not the silent hill,
Nor the deserted pier;
A something that evades me still,
Announces Sabbath here.
...

The Best Poem Of Walter Wingate

The Sair Finger

You've hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!

My, so it is - and there's the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there - my needle's gotten't out!
I'm sure that wasna sair?

And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw,
And tie a Bonnie hankie roun't
Noo, there na - rin awa'!

Your finger sair ana'? Ye rogue,
You're only lettin' on.
Weel, weel, then - see noo, there ye are,
Row'd up the same as John!
