FROM A WINDOW IN PRINCES STREET
To M. M. M'B.
Above the Crags that fade and gloomStarts the bare knee of Arthur's Seat;
Ridged high against the evening bloom,
The Old Town rises, street on street;
73
Like rampired walls the houses lean,
All spired and domed and turreted,
Sheer to the valley's darkling green;
Ranged in mysterious disarray,
The Castle, menacing and austere,
Looms through the lingering last of day;
And in the silver dusk you hear,
Reverberated from crag and scar,
Bold bugles blowing points of war.
