Her clutching feet bepat the ground,

And all their harmless claws disclose

Like prickles of an early rose,

While softly from her whisker'd cheek

The half-closed eyes peer mild and meek.

Joanna Baillie.

20. The tall larch sighing in the burial place,

Or willow trailing low its boughs, to hide

The gleaming marble.
