DIRGE
ON THE DKATH OF THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD . BY A BROTHER . THERE ' wailing down by Yarrow ' s Vale , There ' s moaning through the Ettrick Forest ; St . Mary ' s wave takes up the wail—At Altrive Lake the cry is sorest .
Why mute that Doric reed whose tones O ' er birk and brae poured sweetest pleasure ; Whose spell could charm the elfin ones To listen to the minstrel ' s measure ?
'Tis gone : no more may Ettrick hear The well-known voice of song or story ; No more St . Mary ' s bosom clear Move to the lay of love or glory . Pass'd is the magic of the place—The living breath of joy in Yarrow !
A spirit mounts to the throne of grace—The clay is shrouded in the cold cell narrow . But pilgrims oft from distant shore Shall wander there , and worship lone , And strew that grave with wild-flow ' rs o ' er , And hang fresh chaplets on hs stone .
