And there for ages wind and wave Their orisons have chaunted. But holier than the cooing bird, Or sounds from air and ocean, A saintly voice that cave once heard, Upraised in rapt devotion. Those echoes from the roof have ceased, A thousand years and more, But still the cave door fronts the east, Unspread, the table, fast or feast, Lies bare upon the floor--That rounded stone with strange unknown Characters sculptured o'er; Springs dimpled still the clear rock well With roof-drops falling, as they fell In the dim days of yore.

He came and made that cave his home; Its doorway, by the seething foam Twice daily laved, beholds the streaks Of morning behind Arran peaks Long-drawn. Thence going far and near, He travelled to impress the fear Of God on men who knew it not, Or knowing had almost forgot. in. Oft when a pause upon the din Of battle fell, a voice of peace, He pled.
