Here isthe rock; and the tree; and here theroaring stream. Thou promisedst withnight to be here. Ah! whither is myShalgar gone? With thee I would flymy father; with thee, my brother ofpride. Our race have long been foes;but we are not foes, O Shalgar!
Cease a little while, O wind! stream, be thou silent a while! let my voice beheard over the heath; let my wandererhear me. Shalgar! it is I who call. Hereis the tree, and the rock. Shalgar, mylove! I am here. Why delayest thouthy coming? Alas! no
...answer.
Lo! the moon appeareth. Theflood is bright in the vale. The rocksare grey on the face of the hill. ButI see him not on the brow; his dogsbefore him tell not that he is coming. Here I must sit alone.
But who are these that lie beyondme on the heath? Are they my loveand my brother?--Speak to me, O myfriends! they answer not. My soul istormented with fears. --Ah! they aredead. Their swords are red from thefight. O my brother! my brother!why hast thou slain my Shalgar? why, O Shalgar! hast thou slain my brother?Dear were ye both to me!
