Página 134 - Kilmeny came hame ! And oh, her beauty was fair to see, But still and steadfast was her e'e ; Such beauty bard may never declare, For there was no pride nor passion there ; And the soft desire of maiden's een, In that mild face could never be seen.
Página 260 - Wild is thy lay, and loud, Far in the downy cloud — Love gives it energy ; love gave it birth. Where, on thy dewy wing, Where art thou journeying ?

JAMES HOGG.

Página 124 - Eident a thousand years and mair. Yes, I have watched o'er ilk degree, Wherever blooms femenitye ; But sinless virgin, free of stain In mind and body, fand I nane. Never, since the banquet of time, Found I a virgin in her prime, Till late this...
Página 125 - O, blest be the day Kilmeny was born! Now shall the land of the spirits see, Now shall it ken what a woman may be!
Página 134 - The corby left her houf in the rock; The blackbird alang wi' the eagle flew; The hind came tripping o'er the dew; The wolf and the kid their raike began, And the tod, and the lamb, and the leveret ran; The hawk and the hern...
