One blast upon his bugle horn

Were worth a thousand men.

And refluent[353] through the pass of fear

The battle’s tide was pour’d;

Vanish’d the Saxon’s struggling spear,

Vanish’d the mountain sword.

As Bracklinn’s chasm, so black and steep,

Receives her roaring linn,

As the dark caverns of the deep

Suck the dark whirlpool in,
