THE FAIRY FLAG.
A Skye Folk-lore Story.
BEYOND the purple gloom of moors,
Beyond the blueness of the sea,
Beyond the range of chalk-white cliffs,
The sun was setting peacefully.
The fairy, on a grassy knoll,
Sat dreaming, singing to the cows:
"Knee-deep in clumps of plumy ferns,
Knee-deep in rustling grasses browse!
