ADDRESS TO RANALD MACDONALD OF STAFFA, by WALTER SCOTT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Staffa, sprung from high macdonald Last Line: Beats not, than in heart of staffa! | ||||||||
STAFFA, sprung from high Macdonald, Worthy branch of old Clan-Ranald, Staffa, king of all kind fellows, Well befall thy hills and valleys, Lakes and in lets, deeps and shallows, Cliffs of darkness, caves of wonder, Echoing the Atlantic thunder; Mountains which the grey mist covers, Where the Chieftain spirit hovers, Pausing while his pinions quiver, Stretch'd to quit our land for ever! Each kind influence reign above thee! Warmer heart, 'twixt this and Jaffa Beats not, than in heart of Staffa! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GATHERING SONG OF DONALD [OR, DONUI DHU] THE BLACK by WALTER SCOTT MACGREGOR'S GATHERING by WALTER SCOTT ONE CROWDED HOUR, FR.
