ON CELEBRATING NEW YEAR'S DAY. 85
RECITATION
ON CELEBRATING NEW YEAR's DAY IN A CERTAIN
BACCHANALIAN CLUB.*
'TwAS in a walk, ae frosty night.
The lift was blue, the starns were bright.
An' strong the moon's reflected light
Gleamed on the Forth ;
Faint waving streamers played in sight,
Far i' the north.
[ dandered up the C hill,
I gazed around, an thought my fill.
An' much I mused on good an' ill.
In this mixed plan,
Whare a' seemed right an' happy still.
Compared wi' Man.
* The only evidence of this Poem being Mr Gall's is,
that it was found among his MSS. in an unfinished state, and
in his hand-writing.
