Piece

An accrostic poem for a young couple, one Scottish, and the other from New Zealand, both career people. and with a love for travel and the outdoors.  The wedding took In Dunblane Cathedral (Drummond's land) and the reception in the Great Hall of Stirling Castle. This was performed at their wedding reception and presented to them in a scroll in the Great Hall, Stirling Castle.  It is constructed in the form of a rhyming acrostic with the name of the couple down the left-hand side of the piece.:

A-s far as east is frae the west,

N-ae ne’er tae meet thegither,

T-his gowden band, in Drummond’s land,           

H-ere placed upon the finger,

O-’er twa wha grace this ancient place

N-ae man tae split, nor siller,

Y-oung hairts devout where north an’ south

a-bridged doth span whaur pillars,

n-ew warld’s an’ auld wi’ timeless vows

d-eclaim, while turnin’ tillers

L-ink feet that tread the burlin’ Earth

I-n lands o’er here an’ hither, 

S-end Ant an’ Lisa, like a brooch

A-ye clasped as wedded winners.
