The Baltic Trade Quotes

“The brigs ride out past Ferryden
Ahint the girnin tugs,
And the lasses wave to the Baltic men
Wi the gowd rings i their lugs.”
― Violet Jacob, The Scottish Poems of Violet Jacob

“As I gaed doon by the toon when the day was springin'
The Baltic brigs lay thick by the soundin' quay
And the riggin' hummed wi' the sang that the wind was singin'
"Free - gang free,
For there's mony a load on shore may be skailed at sea!”
― Violet Jacob, The Scottish Poems of Violet Jacob
