Thomas Davidson (7 July 1838, in Oxnam, near Oxnam Water, a tributary of the River Teviot[1] - 29 April 1870, Bank End, Jedburgh) was a Scottish poet born to parents from Northumberland, England.[2]
Thomas's education was at a number of village schools then - after showing an early interest in reading and poetry-writing - from 1854 at the Nest Academy at Jedburgh and from 1855 to 1859 at the University of Edinburgh. At university, in 1859, he won second prize in rhetoric for Ariadne at Naxos, a poem sent to William Makepeace Thackeray by one of Thomas's friends and published in the Cornhill Magazine's December issue the following year.
