There along a silent pathway,
Break the flood of silver moonlight,
Streaming through the leafy roof
See a lady and her lover,
Gliding down the grass-grown walk
Whispering low in ardent converse,
Suited two fond lovers walk.XVII
Who is he that moonlight wooer?
Who is she that lady bright?
Wherefore steal they both together?
In the silence of the night.
"Tis not Ballyreddy's chieftain,
Ah, of love and truth would stain.
She who walks beside that gallant,
Is the false wife of De la Freyne.XVIII
Shall we wonder at the anguish,
Preying on the noble cheif?
Shall we marvel how so fiercely,
Came the ruthless fever grief?
Bearing down the highland fearless,
With its shadow drear and dark.
When his happiness is shipwrecked
Trusting to so frail a bark.(continues on next page)- Collector
