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,
