 | The Works of The Ettrick Shepherd |  |
Unto the top of Selma's tower,
Beyond the reach of human power,
The nine were borne for sacrifice,
With songs and shouts that rent the skies,
And the poor victims of despair
Were stretch'd upon an altar there.
Beyond the reach of human power,
The nine were borne for sacrifice,
With songs and shouts that rent the skies,
And the poor victims of despair
Were stretch'd upon an altar there.
