FAIR HELEN OF KIRCONNEL.
233


Oh! the free streams looked bright, where'er
    We in our gladness roved;
And the blue skies were very fair—
    O friend! because we loved.

Farewell!—I bless thee—live thou on,
    When this young heart is low!
Surely my blood thy life hath won—
    Clasp me once more—I go!
