Dick and Edward
From Poems (1889)
Social Commentaries
The Thurso baker Robert Dick
Armed with his hammer and his pick,
Dame nature's secrets did reveal,
Which she for ages did conceal.
In Banff has genius found regard
In the person of an Edward,
Who now does rank among the first
In the world as naturalist.
