GLENCOE.



Just two or three sweet chords, that seemed
    An echo of thy tone,—
The cushat's song was on the wind
    And mingled with thine own.

I looked upon the vale beneath,
    I looked on thy sweet face;
I thought how dear, this voyage o'er,
    Would be my resting place.

We parted; but I kept thy kiss,—
    Thy last one,—and its sigh—
As safely as the stars are kept
    In yonder azure sky.

Again I stood by that hill side,
    And scarce I knew the place,
