And the Exhibition Will Be Closed by Madge Wildfire
The Duchess of  Gloucester will open
hae ye ever been in Bedlam hinny
the Sir Walter Scott Bicentenary Exhibition
are ye no fair deaved wi the skirling
in Parliament House Edinburgh on August 15
I never laughed sae muckle afore
Sir Walter’s descendants
I’ll rive every dud aff their backs

The Round
I’ve never heard a song
like that I’ve never heard

a song like that I’ve never
heard a song like that

to men or was it peace

to men of  goodwill was it
peace and goodwill to men
