For one wild lay of all that buried lie

Beneath thy giant mound? From Tara's hall

Faint warblings yet are heard, faint echoes die

Among the Hebrides: the ghost that sung

In Ossian's ear, yet wails in feeble cry

On Morvern: but the harmonies that rung

Around the grove and cromlech, never more

Shall visit earth: for ages have unstrung

The Druid's harp, and shrouded all his lore,

Where under the world's ruin sleep in gloom
