أيّ شيء حَسَنٍ لفتىً لم يَكُ لَك
إِنَّ أمراً فادِحاً عَنْ جوابي شَغَلَك
سأُعَزِّي النفْسَ إذ لم تُجِبْ مَن سأَلَك
ليتَ
قلبي
ساعةً صَبْرَهُ عَنكَ مَلَك
ليتَ نَفْسي قُدِّمَت للمَنايا بَدَلَك

And the petals from a rose-tree
Fell within the marble basin.

In the reign of King George the First, the rebellion revived the fame of the Highlanders; and it is well
recorded
how deeply they were engaged on both sides ; but on the one part, many were found of the Scots' nation to join the standard of rebellion; an equal por
tion of the same country were found, at least, to assemble round that of the royal cause.

Thou art my love,
And thou art a strorm
That breaks black in the sky,
And, sweeping headlong,
Drenches and cowers each tree,
And at the panting end
There is no sound
Save the
melancholy
cry of a single owl--
Woe is me!

The shrivelled seeds
are spilt on the path--
the grass bends with dust,
the grape slips
under its
crackled
leaf:
yet far beyond the spent seed-pods,
and the blackened stalks of mint,
the poplar is bright on the hill,
the poplar spreads out,
deep-rooted among trees.
