Poem by Andrew Lang

Dizain

As, to the pipe, with rhythmic feet
In windings of some old-world dance,
The smiling couples cross and meet,
Join hands, and then in line advance,
So, to these fair old tunes of France,
Through all their maze of to-and-fro,
The light-heeled numbers laughing go,
Retreat, return, and ere they flee,
One moment pause in panting row,
And seem to say--Vos plaudite!

1. Son Davie! Son Davie!
2. Lord Thomas and Fair Annet
3. Rob Roy
4. The Dowie Dens of Yarrow
5. Villion's Ballade of Good Counsel, to His Friends of Evil Life
