charms of those whom he could step out to the walks and admire: his
lyrics give evidence of the

of his thoughts to the distant

Campbell, and think of the sighs and vows on the Devon and the Doon,
while his harpstrings were still quivering to the names of the Millers
and the M'Murdos--to the charms of the lasses with golden or with
flaxen locks, in the valley where he dwelt.

My hale and weel I'll tak a care o't,
A tentier way:
Then farewell folly, hide and hair o't,
For ance and aye!

I see those who in any land have died for the good cause;
The seed is spare,
nevertheless
the crop shall never run out;
(Mind you, O foreign kings, O priests, the crop shall never run out.

Yet to me Love has such honour sent
Since my heart's firmer truer in its ways
Than any other man; and if it seldom says
Who it loves that's for fear of ill intent;
Should her sweet smile, face, eyes fail to tell,
And her fine and noble manners as well,
Her gaiety, and fair speech, miraculous,
Who she is to those who are
connoisseurs!

Sur La Mort de Marie: IV
As in May month, on its stem we see the rose
In its sweet youthfulness, in its freshest flower,
Making the heavens jealous with living colour,
Dawn sprinkles it with tears in the morning glow:
Grace lies in all its petals, and love, I know,
Scenting the trees and scenting the garden's bower,
But, assaulted by
scorching
heat or a shower,
Languishing, it dies, and petals on petals flow.
