Sad Songs

Dirge

          Lo Scot’s bagpipe
          Hone thy tune

Elegy

          A poem in
          Rondo, played

Requiem

          Give yon ghost up
          To the Lord

Hymn

           A poem in
           Rondo, played

Lament

           Sweet Maid’s cry
           Sore thy grief

Chant

           A poem in
           Rondo, played




Inspired by R. W. Emerson's "Dirge"
