...y’ll have fleet steeds that follow,’ quoth young Lochinvar.
There was mounting ’mong Graemes of the Netherby clan;
Fosters, Fenwicks, and Musgraves, they rode and they ran:
There was racing and chasing on Cannobie Lee,
But the lost bride of Netherby ne’er did they see.
So daring in love and so dauntless in war,
Have ye e’er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar? ...Read more of this...

...ul anguish of the soul. 10
But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud

And feed deep deep upon her peerless eyes. 20

When flocks are folded warm,
And herds to shelter run,
He sails above the storm,
He stares into the sun.
If in the eagle's track

If you would keep your soul
