Marjory Miller | |
Robert Tannahill
| Louder than the trump of fame Is the voice of Marjory Miller; Time, the wildest beast can tame, She's eternally the same: Loud the mill's incessant clack, Loud the clank of Vulcan's hammer, Loud the deep-mouth'd cataract, But louder far her dinsome clamour! Nought on earth can equal be To the noise of Marjory. | 2. Calm succeeds the tempest's roar, Peace does follow war's confusion, Dogs do bark and soon give o'er, But she barks for evermore: Loud's the sounding bleachfield horn, Bat her voice is ten times louder! Red's the sun on winter morn, But her face is ten times redder ! She delights in endless strife, Lord preserve's from such a wife! |
