Lord Ullin's Daughter Comments
Rating: ★3.4
A chieftain, to the Highlands bound,
Cries, ``Boatman, do not tarry!
And I'll give thee a silver pound
To row us o'er the ferry!''--

Memorized this poem over 60 yrs ago and the power of the story has remained with me. I even now can recite it to the surprise of my friends and those who would listen.

Mind blowing poem with fantastic sweep of imagery and most touching sentiments of the father lamenting over his daughters being washed away by waves in stormy night while eloping with her lover.

I learnt this poem by heart to recite on my primary school stage at one end of term event.. Unfortunately the audience included very noisy young children so no one could hear me. I was so disappointed that I cried my heart out afterwards. I was 9 years old at the time - and have never forgotten the humiliation!

One of my favorite peoms. I first learnt this poem 12 years back, and I still recite this poem occasionally... the imagery is very vivid, and one can impulsively replay everything....

I LOVE this poem....But the ending is so sad. Everytime I read this poem, tears swell upon my face. This poem is one of my favorite. I first read it two years ago and kept a copy of it. Unfortunately, I lost it. Now, I'm really happy that I found it again.
