Mrs Robert Scott Moncrieff - A Tribute

dbremner

I smile, once more

As I think

Of the light that plays

Upon the softness of your lips

 

And of your wistful gaze,

Kind expression.

That speaks to me

Of Scotlands grace

 

So too, the fairness

Of your skin

That glows like moonlight

On a settled sea

 

And your features fair,

Bosom warm

So well presented

In your crimson gown

 

So yes, I'll always

Think of you

For you speak the truth

Of our Nations charm.
