Built deep within a dreary glen,

Where scatter’d lay the bones of men,

In some forgotten battle slain,

And bleach’d by drifting wind and rain.

It might have tamed a warrior’s heart,

To view such mockery of his art!

The knot-grass fetter’d there the hand,

Which once could burst an iron band;

Beneath the broad and ample bone,

That buckler’d heart to fear unknown,
