BLOWN SEED OF SONG.

THE WITCH'S LAST RIDE.

[My true love made a home for me]

['Twas lately said in open court]

TO A MOUNTAIN STREAMLET.

IN THE INN PARLOUR.

[Though Death you once came near me]

LINES TO CLUNY WATER.

[Take but my song upon your lips, my love]

ANY HUSBAND TO MANY A WIFE.

I WANDER IN THE MONTH OF MAY.

IN THE RIVIERA.

[June has once more brought the rose]

[Dear Joy, what have I done thee]

THE HIGHLAND WIDOW'S LAMENT.
