  1. (continued from previous page)
    Echoing oe'r so faintly
    Then lost amidst it heathery dells
    In music, weird and quaintly

    And cairned on its swelling crest
    Druidic altars gleaming
    Like pearls on some giants breast
    So fair & whitely beaming
    And the lull & swell of the distant sea
    Joined with the night winds moaning
    Amid its fastnesses wild & free
    For long past days seen ...

    Are oe'r it darkly falling
    Perchance amid its wild wood glades
    You'll hear the Druids calling
    You'll fancy altars fiery red
    [?] forms around them kneeling
    But look again then all has fled
    'Twas but a phantom feeling
