In Memory Of The Author's Father, Robert Hogg (1930-1987) Gamekeeper, Fisherman, Marine And Husband Of Jeanette (Etta) Written Ten Yrs After The Death Of My Father Poem by Paddy Scott Hogg

When Winter's westlin' winds dae wail,
An' wild waves crash in blustry gale
Against the cragged rock:
There, at the Mull, amidst the foam,
Yer Spirit Dad, at rest - at home
Does gleefu', onward walk.
Yer brow unbent an' manly stride -
'The noblest work o' God'.
Noo Nature's strength an' honest pride
Lay still, beneath the sod.
10 years lang, ye hae gang;
Frae us, did sad depart:
Ay we, remember ye,
Immortal in oor heart.
