On Bardon Hill.

Oh! I think, think still, how, on Bardon Hill,
He stood beneath a golden cloud;
And bold as a hawk, with his head thrown back,
A merry tune whistled aloud.
That hour on the height, in his blink so bright,
Lo! I marked not the sun go down;
But felt to my cost that my heart was lost,
And my peace with my heart had flown.
