Poem by Anonymous

Limerick. “There was a young poet of Trinity…”

There was a young poet of Trinity
Who, although he could trill like a linnet, he
	Could never complete
	Any poem with feet,
Saying, “Idiots,
	Can’t you see
	That what I’m writing
		Happens
		To be
		Free
Verse?”

1. Inscription on a Gravestone in the Churchyard of Melrose Abbey
2. The Old Scottish Gentleman
3. Barthram’s Dirge
4. Kate Kearney
5. Loch Ina
