Poetry by David E J Pirret

'Bonnie Wren'

Ye tawny gem o blossom's bough

So peerless creep your sainted house

Soft breezes grace you ruffled coats

O browning golds your gilded throats


Abroad the willows glittered sheaves

Careering fair those lichen's cleaves

So ringing forth in vibrant chime

Replete your sparkling chattered rhyme


And there by fledgeling haunts demure

Bye gleeful woods subliming lure

Fond flee those distant purpling glen

Ere swift return sweet bonnie wren

'Darling'

So fair  appeared that bonnie lass

Bye gilded morn's enchanted grass

Abroad the cherry's reigning boughs

A foundered dove o heavens ploughs


Her darkling eyes as sweetest gems

So graceful swept her mystic hems

Oh which beguiling raptures fate

Bougnt blustered dove frae heavens gate


Ye ambered fawning womdrous maid

Frae angels' founts demurly strayed

Sweet child o Dawn's alluring folds

Adorning streamed in heavens golds


Those scowling gales caress your frocks

As shrouding sail the rainbow's flock

So flee these climes to myrtles falls

Ye darling dove o heaven's shawls

Lovers Cross

Folorn so laid the wasted ground

Of barren fields o sadness found

Appalling black the  pastures stray

Of lost two hearts in loving way

Rejection sears her flaming gowns

As frosting stare her harrowed frowns

And oh what fool what utter loss

Where rended lies the lover's cross

'Strayed'

Amidst lush earthlings tangled locks

Where star flight daisies strewed in flocks

An iris maid pranced golden cheeked

And sweetly rang the silk stream's meets

Majestic played her dangled stalks

As billows teased such lilied frocks

And raven coursed her sainted smiles

Bye glisten heaven's befuddled whiles

And yet though marsh and windblown reeds

The bold girl tossed her gilded beads

Ne'er shall forget till ends of time

That girl so wondrous strayed sublime

'Vows'

Just o'er the brow o maidens hill

Fly pastures green so wondrous milled

Where sweet larks lilting melody

Trancends e'en natures deigned decree

Where gentle lurks the willow's wren

along the lush grass bracken fen

As rambled wild rose softly glide

And sunbeams dreaming coats collide

Where mottled songthrush dulcet sing

And new bourne lamb their tassles fling

Where breezes tilt the wandered haze

Where silver stream slips o'er her braes

Where seasons kissed red fruiting boughs

May spree unleashed neath Heaven's vows.

'Blossoms Love'

Encaptured o that fond embrace

Emotions soared in kindled flames

As saintly fleed the angels trace

Did hold her close by Blossoms lanes


Aspiring flew those passions blood

Cascaded down frae heaven's flood

Alighting there by blossoms's wheat

Did kiss her lips o cherry's sweet


Those twinkled stars o midnight blues

Entrancing flared o pinkered hues

Amongst Eve's darkling pearly glows

Did hold her hand by Blossom's rose


Yet many moons their beams have gone

So fair refalls that evenings song

And as o'er flees the twilights dove

Ere spills yon place o Blossoms love
