On the hilltop stands one ofd Oak-tree
And spreads its towering canopy;
A sacred place from ancient days,
‘When aff men deemed that in the

Of marmaring (eaves and writhen

Nor might, beneath that sacred shade,

Chat stormed those echoing falls along
Chat had echoed last to the bridalsong.

Co the couch Whereon the sword was

She hath thrast the fill to the hand
of her Knight, —
And the blade sang clear as it leaped”
to fight,
And the chamber rang with the roar

of fight.

nd gaards and knights came
. trampling in
Till the King’s voice thundered above
the din,
And the weapons sank at the word

he said;

Bat the brightest blade was bathed
in red;

And on the rashes the Coant lay dead.

As they flang a cloak o'er the traitor’s

And as they carried the dead awau,
One dtew/a cartain, and col@andgrey

Stole in the light of the breaking day.
