Cross'd in his fortune, and cross'd in his love,
Young Allan he wandered to glen and to grove;
His grief, unobserv'd, to the winds to impart—
For there is a pride in the noble heart,
That, tho' with sorrow it heave and ache,
Before to another its moan 'twill make,
The burthen 'twill bear till it sicken and break.
