Upon the roofe we sate that night, The noise of bells went sweeping by : I marked the lofty beacon light Stream from the church tower, red and high — A lurid mark and dread to see : And awsome bells they were to mee, That in the dark rang
204. oldal - For your father's on the hill, and your mother is asleep ; Come up above the crags, and we'll dance a Highland reel Around the fairy thorn on the steep.' At Anna Grace's door 'twas thus the maidens cried, Three merry maidens fair in kirtles of the green ; And Anna laid the rock and the weary wheel aside— The fairest of the four, I ween. They're glancing through the glimmer of the quiet eve. Away in milky wavings of neck and ankle bare ; The heavy-sliding stream in its sleepy song they leave, And...
149. oldal - We be two strong men," said Kamal then, "but she loveth the younger best. "So she shall go with a lifter's dower, my turquoise-studded rein, "My 'broidered saddle and saddle-cloth, and silver stirrups twain." The Colonel's son a pistol drew, and held it muzzle-end, "Ye have taken the one from a foe," said he; "will ye take the mate from a friend?
