Nancie Corrie
Allan Cunningham
1784 to 1842
O ken ye lovely Nancie,
Of Corrie's fairy water?
O ken ye bonnie Nancie,
John Corrie's only daughter?
She's peerless when she speaks,
When silent she's a shiner,
There's sorcery in her song,
And her dancing's still diviner.
O were I but the light
Of the morning to awake her,
When she rises pure and bright,
In the glory of her Maker!
Allan Cunningham's Nancie Corrie
I am busy working to bring Allan Cunningham's "Nancie Corrie" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Allan Cunningham's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Nancie Corrie" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
