Robert Burns Ca' The Yowes To The Knowes presented by David Sibbald of www.robertburns.plus.com from his CD "The Greatest Poems in the World." set to photos of Scotland and edited by Peggy Edwards (AKA Peigi McCann).Ca' The Yowes To The Knowes

Ca' the yowes tae the knowes,
Ca' them whare the heather grows,
Ca' them whare the burnie rowes,
My bonie dearie!

Hark, the mavis' e'ening sang
Sounding Clouden's woods amang,
Then a-faulding let us gang,
My bonie dearie.

We'll gae down by Clouden side,
Thro' the hazels, spreading wide
O'er the waves that sweetly glide
To the moon sae clearly.

Yonder Clouden's silent towers,
Where, at moonshine's midnight hours,
O'er the dewy bending flowers
Fairies dance sae cheery.

Ghaist nor bogle shalt thou fear -
Thou'rt to Love and Heav'n sae dear
Nocht of ill may come thee near,
My bonie dearie.
Fair and lovely as thou art,
Thou hast stown my very heart;
I can die - but canna part,
My bonie dearie.

Ca' the yowes tae the knowes,
Ca' them whare the heather grows,
Ca' them whare the burnie rowes,
My bonie dearie!

"I can die but cannot part, my dear" are the words where the plane goes across the video. You saw that as a lighthearted bit in a video love poem that includes a Scottish river, with Scots black-faced sheep and blooming heather? You didn't connect the tragedy at all and so, "Aweseome, the plane cracked me up! BRAVO I want more!?" was the way to go? Non-sequiturs do abound, I grant you that, but you should reconsider your take on this one.

@talory The plane was meant as a symbol of parting, of long distance love,

not meant to be lighthearted at all ...

@talory Are you sure? I did not see it that way at all.

@Gimmer3 The plane was a reference to the Locherbie tragedy - not something to be laughed about.

Another wonderful video, the poem beautifully spoken by David Sibbald as always. Love those pictures, great looking sheep. I am very happy to own both of David's greatest love poem cds, i thoroughly

recommend them.

Thank You.

Love Rose
