HELLO MY FAMILY LIVED AT CROWDIEKNOWE AND THEN MINSCA--LAST NAME WAS "BELL" I BELEVE LATER AT ONE TIME THE GRAHMS OWNED IT. BRENDA

Langholm poet Hugh MacDiarmid wrote the following poem about Crowdieknowe. Rene CROWDIEKNOWE Oh to be at Crowdieknowe When the last trump blaws. An see the deid come lowpin owre The auld grey wa's. Muckle men wi' tousled beards I grat as a bairn 'll scramble frae the croodit clay Wi' feck o' swearin'. An' glower at God an' a' his gang 0' angels i' the lift -Thae trashy bleezin' French-like folk Wha gar'd them shift! Fain the weemun-folk'll seek To mak' them haud their row -Fegs, God's no blate gin he stirs up The men o' Crowdieknowe ! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 12:37 PM Subject: Re: [DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY] DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY Digest, Vol 7, Issue 57 | HELLO | MY FAMILY LIVED AT CROWDIEKNOWE AND THEN MINSCA--LAST NAME WAS | "BELL" I BELEVE LATER AT ONE TIME THE GRAHMS OWNED IT. | | BRENDA | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
