And tryst at the Scar with the evening star—

So shall I prove thy love to me."

He mounted his charger, and gallop'd away

By down and valley and cove and bay:

He chaunted a song as he cantered along

By the dismal coast at close of day.

The wind blew fresh and the foam ran high;

Naught he heard but the seamew's cry,

Till he came to the cave by the crisping wave

Where the billow lies calm and the breezes die.
