On a rock of the ocean fair Ellen did seem;

Glenara! Glenara! now read me my dream!”

In dust, low the traitor has knelt to the ground,

And the desert revealed where his lady was found;

From a rock of the ocean that beauty is borne—

Now joy to the house of fair Ellen of Lorn!

[74] Maclean of Duart.
