#December 12, 1907
#OTD James Rigg, #Scottish #Victorian #Poet, #HymnWriter, & #Composer, died.
His #WildFlower #Lyrics begins:
From #Boyhood, I have been #InLove with the #Wildlings:
I rank them among my #Teachers & #Preachers.
If [my #Poems lead] one here & there with a lighter #Heart,
To gather imperishable #Treasures from the #Lovely #Blossoms that #Kiss clear #Brooks & #Mountain wells -
I shall have done my #Little
to check the #Nature-#Forgetting #Tendencies of #CityLife.
