Caledonian Games

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-mcintyre_poetry

Lines on Caledonian games, May, 1884.
On grassy amphitheater Spectators sit, to view the war ’Mong bold contestants on the plain, Where each doth strive the prize to gain; And when the little boys and girls In highland dress and waving curls, From London, danced the Highland fling; The whole mass did their praises sing; And at the concert did applaud The little charmers Blanch and Maud.
