Top 4 William Motherwell Quotes

Mournfully, oh, mournfully,
The midnight wind doth sigh,
Like some sweet plaintive melody
Of ages long gone by.

And we, with Nature’s heart in tune,
Concerted harmonies.

’T was then we luvit ilk ither weel,
’T was then we twa did part:
Sweet time—sad time! twa bairns at scule—
Twa bairns and but ae heart.

I ’ve wandered east, I ’ve wandered west,
Through mony a weary way;
But never, never can forget
The luve o’ life’s young day!
