Additional quotes by Helen Cruickshank

I am not asked out to drinking parties and have never been in a Rose Street pub. I can't be a poet.

Under an arch o’ bramble
Saftly she goes,
Dark broon een like velvet,
Cheeks like the rose.

They agonise in sordid tenements, with children stabled worse than sheep or kye. O, how can grace or peace or health abide such poverty?
