Metaphor in Context
Whan ardent youth, wi' boiling blood,
Ilk trace o'glowing passion loo'd.
How aft aside thy silver flood,
Unseen, alane,
The bard, enrapt in pensive mood,
Has poured the strain!
Ilk trace o'glowing passion loo'd.
How aft aside thy silver flood,
Unseen, alane,
The bard, enrapt in pensive mood,
Has poured the strain!
