 | The Works of The Ettrick Shepherd |  |
The monks gazed round, the abbot grew wan,
For the closing notes were not sung by man.
They came from the rock, or they came from the air,
From voice they knew not, and knew not where;
But it sung with a mournful melody,
“Greater yet must the offering be.”
For the closing notes were not sung by man.
They came from the rock, or they came from the air,
From voice they knew not, and knew not where;
