The reason I chose to read this poem is that my mother’s family is of Scottish decent. I like it because of the speaker describes the sadness of the wife and mother. The poem makes you feel the sadness with the words used (wringing her hair). Everyone should read this poem because it does make strong emotions even though they are sad emotions. The stranger that tells what Bonny George left behind (corn unshorn… babe is unborn) sounds like a great beginning for a ghost story.
