MCGREGOR'S ODE AND SERENADE
Everyone needs a respite A sojourn with the loons A detour with the rocks and cliffs A secluded cove at noon
Bluebells emerge from the crevice of rock Amity is all around
As sunlight dries the shimmering stone The Phoebe then will sound
At times we've heard the music of Scots Play across the bay.
A tandem of sorts
A greeting and call
At dusk, each and every day.
Now it is hushed
The bagpipes retired
But
your You beckoned us out
To hear the harmony and round of McGregors's Ode and Serenade
music we won't forget
