The Works of The Ettrick Shepherd | ||
Such was our bard, such were his lays;
And long, by green Benarty's base,
His wild wood-notes, from ivy cave,
Had waked the dawning from the wave.
At evening fall, in lonesome dale,
He kept strange converse with the gale;
Held worldly pomp in high derision,
And wandered in a world of vision.
And long, by green Benarty's base,
His wild wood-notes, from ivy cave,
Had waked the dawning from the wave.
At evening fall, in lonesome dale,
He kept strange converse with the gale;
Held worldly pomp in high derision,
And wandered in a world of vision.
