MOTTO, FR. ARIOSTO by WALTER SCOTT

Poet Analysis

First Line: FAREWELL TO THE LAND WHERE THE CLOUDS LOVE TO REST
Last Line: AND THE LAKE HER LONE BOSOM EXPANDS TO THE SKY.
Subject(s): COLD; DEATH; FAREWELL; REST; SKY; DEAD, THE; PARTING;
Farewell to the land where the clouds love to rest,
Like the shroud of the dead on the mountain's cold breast;
To the cataract's roar where the eagles reply,
And the lake her lone bosom expands to the sky.
