Explore "Fair Day at Embro" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On the Middle Branch of the Thames.
Of Scottish names a great array / We meet at Erabro on Fair Day;
McDonald, McKenzie and McKay, / And Murray, Ross and Sutherland, / And Munroes round you stand.
Your lassies worthy of our song, / And youth are famed for muscle strong / For they can pull both hard and long;
And their fame is heard afar.
Victorious in each tug of war.
But these battles bring no sorrow / To the hardy youth of Zorra, / And no tears to eyes of Flora;
They are not deadly tugs of war, / And they leave no wounds nor scar.
