Opens on Katrine’s lake and isle.

Gray Benvenue I soon repass’d,

Loch Katrine lay beneath me cast.

The sun is set;—the clouds are met,

The lowering scowl of heaven

An inky hue of livid blue

To the deep lake has given;

Strange gusts of wind from mountain glen

Swept o’er the lake, then sunk agen.

I heeded not the eddying surge,
