'Tis the place of the Cymric town, On the high and airy hill; The green o'er its ruined mounds, Its once living voices still. Shapeless the homes where they lived, Shapless the cairns of their dead; Sun-God! ye gleam as of yore, But ye thrill not the mouldering head! The beo hums low in the heather, The old tune the waters keep; But nerveless the eager ear, Nought breaks on that dreamless sleep. And fair lies the land they loved, Around their old wattled home; Hill and moor and boundless sky, Far spread as the eye can roam. Sweet music flows in each name They gave to the wavy hill, The haugh and the gleaming stream, And the rushing mountain-rill. Garlet, Garlavan, Caerdon, Ye speak of their ancient time; Penvenna, Trahenna, Traquair, Ye fall with a mystic chime. Theirs Talk, Manor, and Fruid, Drummelzier foaming in speed; And streams to be famous in story--Yarrow, Teviot, and Tweed. The height and the might of the hill, The depth of the misty glen, The roaring wind and the flood, Were dear to the Cymric men. And one great Power was in all--The spirit of shade and gleam, That made his peace with the eve, And woko in the morning beam. Now in forest gloom enwrapt, Dim fear to the heart he brings; Then sweet with the bird out-speaks, In each note that joyous rings. M By the Caer are the ancient graves On this high and airy height; No lowlier tomb for the Cymri Than the eagle sweeps in his flight. Now meet falls the evening's peace; A lone clear star is on high; In ghostly line the white sheep pass Up the hill 'neath the gloamin' sky. XVI. 5n dBemorlam. REV. JAMES RUSSELL, D.D., YARROW.
