6. MAIN POEMS
TO A HAGGIS RED RED ROSE
Fair and full is your honest, jolly face,
Great chieftain of the sausage race!
Above them all you take your place, O, my love is like a red, red rose,
Stomach, tripe, or intestines: That is newly sprung in June.
Well are you worthy of a grace O, my love is like the melody,
As long as my arm.
That is sweetly played in tune.
The groaning trencher there you fill,
Your buttocks like a distant hill, As fair are you, my lovely lass,
Your pin would help to mend a mill So deep in love am I,
In time of need, And I will love you still, my Dear,
While through your pores the dews distill
Till all the seas go dry.
Like amber bead.
Till all the seas go dry, my Dear,
His knife see rustic Labour wipe,
And cut you up with ready slight, And the rocks melt with the sun!
Trenching your gushing entrails bright, O I will love you still, my Dear,
Like any ditch; While the sands of life shall run.
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm steaming, rich! And fare you well, my only Love,
Then spoon for spoon, the stretch and strive: And fare you well a while!
Devil take the hindmost, on they drive, And I will come again, my Love,
Till all their well swollen bellies by-and-by
Although it were ten thousand mile¡
Are bent like drums;
Then old head of the table, most like to burst,
'The grace!' hums.
Is there that over his French ragout,
Or olio that would sicken a sow,
Or fricassee would make her vomit
With perfect disgust,
Looks down with sneering, scornful view
Summary: This poem is the love he feels
Summary: This poem is about how to make a haggis
Another poem of the author: tragic fragment, the tear drop, etc.
