saw nay lovar'7 hcc,ling form
Borne tr"m tlr glen ~ mountain storm;
pressed his hand, caught his eye
!il- p;iilid lips but hrcathctl q sigh
one moment more, one fond adieu,
Ills soul had passed from human view;
Who saw lhn scene never knew.
y Hii,n he whose hand nv lover slew.
\ strange sensation iilictt my brain,
II was not grief, il was not pain;
IWa- like the liShnlng'e whrling Hash,
Ia storm where torrent: nHaily DASH
Fantastic forms around GIt Sped
saw them look upor my dead,
Then round and round with measured tread
some hooked again. then Widl, fed.
Ana there WIS one who came that day,
\ Wtherei woman old and gray.
hnpw her not, but hearti her say
My daughters mind has given way
Dh GOT restore my chilli, pray
pom her face cuidly luoketi.
Her tottrring form with palsy shoo!
Like tender reed in ripping brook
WHY should care for such as she
NnIi" rpnid with my luVfr be:
Then ~trtiirc men came. but stood aside
And tonhvt N me his nrfu,iet, bride
Then like the tiger from his lair.
or eagle rircling nigh in air,
That darts upun the .iud hare,
They srram@ at nae in Wild despair.
!hcy hpund my h;tnt, with many thong,
% Hud forgive that fearful wrong; !
They dragged me from his bleeding form,
Through SNOW aild -tcet and biilt:ing storm,
In yuiHieI castles ruined keep,
They placed me III Il dungeon deep,
Wtcre Loch la tal1''s dark winding streams.
Alone ,is,ulbe! my troubled ,treams
heard the murmuring waters f;ow
pom the castle walls below,
iiow long twas thus ne er shall know.
From grated Win.,uw could see.
The will birds tilt from iree to tree,
In distant woods beyond The lea,
Ami oii longed to tliu he free.
beneath the moonheaui : shinnering light
traced this ruin many night;
IT. G:irhcnrd wall. against the sky,
Annrarrd to court eciIiCSS eve.
Ana once like solemn funeral pyre,
| saw it. grand ana ruined spire
Lit bV some strange -lipernal fire.
Meath. ,luinc and arch its weirily lit,
J SAW strange figures move, and Hit
From vuulteti i.ayc to cryptic pit:
Fui one from others stood apart,
Like solemn cnurch from bustlin;r mart
Oukpd again-n;tN ttu not start,
1t vas the idol of my heart.
pressed my fare against the CRATE
TIL bursting NcinS-.th' what fate
To ihtlo hc near the one YOU love,
And hopeless cry To Him above.
once more my prison door tried
H. iron bands my strength delied.
But freedom wins where tyIant's wrong,
And locks divide not lovers long:
Enough This time for me to say,
From castle keep Traced my way,
L" where this ruined Abbey lay
Beneath til, moons soft, lingering ray.
No vision met my eve, save that
From iiuttcrihg bird and startled bat
From dome to aicf, from arch to ground
| searched each nook and Granny round,
! cried aloud and echo said.
'Ihis spot is sacred 10 the dead
Ana nhv whan 1lidni.rht's .ahle shroud
1 thrown .IiLr ,.nunI weak nnd nrnnd
Along the ourniu.r ,rla.ie Green
Ana I.rn my nrusrirss vigil. Keen.
1t j. mot thai hope 10
That null form nuc, t,.i,r tn mo
Long since that cherished hope lost,
Ike sh,ttcrpt; wreck on ijl,nv- tnsseJ.
But lie vhusc hand the wild waves caln,
Can bring 10 me another balm;
The only .oIace have sought,
Ia rruubliur walls bat typifv
The grief | hide from hulnan eve;
Here where. the iy,'s tcntirils cling
And twitteling birds their mathis sinu.
MY nightly drawer. to God bring.
Tiis bleeding heart no more to wiring
These Juiyering lips can ne'er reveal,
