Of craggy Carnich, and Green Oronsay

Drench’d in that sea-born shower o’er tree-tops driven

And ivied stones of what was once a tower

Now hardly known from rocks—and gathering might

In the long reach between Dungallan caves

And point of Arderinis ever fair

With her Elysian groves, bursts through that strait

Into another ampler inland sea;

Till lo! subdued by some sweet influence,—

And potent is she though so meek the Eve,—
