And by its side I muse: and Fancy reigns;

And giant oaks on Pennial waving stand;

With snowy robe and flowing bears sweep bye

The aged Druid-train beneath the star-lit sky.

Oh! draw a veil before the hideous scene!

For theirs were offerings of human blood,

With sound of trump and shriek of fear between:

Their sacred grove is fallen, their creed is gone;
