Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of the Ettrick Shepherd: Including the Queen's Wake, Pilgrims of the Sun, Mador of the Moor, Mountain Bard, With an Autobiography, and Illustrative Engravings, From Original Drawings
Now burst, ye Winter clouds that lower, Fling from your folds the piercing shower; Sing to the tower and lea?ess tree, Ye cold winds of adversity Your blights, your chilling in?uence shed, On wareless heart, and houseless head, Your ruth or fury I disdain, I've found my Mountain Lyre again.
Come to my heart, my only stay! Companion of a happier day! Thou gift of Heaven, thou pledge of good, Harp of the mountain and the wood! I little thought, when first I tried Thy notes by lone Saint Mary's Side, When in a deep untrodden den, I found thee in the bracken glen, I little thought that idle toy Should e'er become my only joy!
