ROB OF THE BOWL.

A LEGEND OF ST. INIGOES.


CHAPTER I.

No more thy glassy brook reflects the day,

But choked with sedges, works its weedy way;

Along thy glades a solitary guest,

The hollow-sounding bittern guards its nest;

Amidst thy desert walks the lapwing flies,

And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.
