Bonnie Joann, and other poems

SONGS of ANGUS
FIFTH IMPRESSION
“The dialect is Angus, and in every song there is the sound of the east wind and the rain.... She has many moods, from the stalwart humour of ‘The Beadle o’ Drumlee’ and ‘Jeemsie Miller’ to the haunting lilt of ‘The Gean-Trees’ and the pathos of ‘Craigo Woods’ and ‘The Lang Road,’ but in them all are the same clarity of vision and clear beauty of phrase.”
From Mr. John Buchan’s Preface .
