Explore "Lines on Embro and Zorra" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O'er various counties of the north, / When cruel order did go forth, / For to destroy many a home, / So that the wild deer free might roam;
The men of Sutherland and Ross, / The broad Atlantic they did cross, / Each seeking for a fertile farm, / These rolling lands for them had charm;
They ne'er desired again to roam, / Each happy in his woodland home, / Where middle branch of Thames doth flow / They built the village of Embro, / And it the hill tops now doth crown / Like its grand namesake Edina Town, / And good flour mills you here do find / And oats also they here do grind.
