"Lady, I know who sleeps by thy side;

But, lady, he will not awake.

"By Eildon-tree, for long nights three,

In bloody grave have I lain;

The mass and the death-prayer are said for me.

But, lady, they are said in vain.

"By the Baron's brand, near Tweed's fair strand,

Most foully slain, I fell;

And my restless sprite on the beacon s height,

For a space is doom'd to dwell.
