SCHIEHALLION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Far the gray loch runs
Last Line: Back to schiehallion!
Subject(s): Schiehallion (mountain), Scotland


FAR the gray loch runs
Up to Schiehallion.
Lap, lap the water flows
Where my wee boatie rows,
Greenly a star shows
Over Schiehallion.

She that I wander'd with
Over Schiehallion, --
How far ayont your ken,
Crags of the merry glen,
Stray'd she, that wander'd then
Down frae Schiehallion!

Sail of the wild swan
Turn to Schiehallion!
Here where the rushes rise
Low the black hunter lies;
Beat thou the pure skies
Back to Schiehallion!
