A wakener of heroes in every glen,

With a glance inspired which no grief could tame,

Bearing on hope like a torch’s flame;

While the strengthening voice of mighty wrongs

Gave echoes back to her thrilling songs.

But his dreams were fill’d by a haunting tone,

Sad as a sleeping infant’s moan;

And his soul was pierced by a mournful eye,

Which look’d on it—oh! how beseechingly!

And there floated past him a fragile form,
