Fast descending as thou art, Say, hath mortal invocation Spells to touch thy stony heart ?
Then, sullen Winter I hear my prayer, And gently rule the ruin*d year ; Nor chill the wanderer's bosom bare Nor freeze the wretch's falling tear : To shuddering Want's unmantled bed Thy horror-breathing agues cease to lend.
And gently on the orphan head Of Innocence descend.
But chiefly spare, O king of clouds I The sailor on his airy shrouds.
When wrecks and beacons strew the steep, And spectres walk alo...ng the deep.
Milder yet thy snowy breezes Pour on yonder tented shores, Where the Rhine's broad billow freezes, Or the dark-brown Danube roars.
Oh, winds of Winter I list ye there To many a deep and dying groan ?
Or start, ye demons of the midnight air.
At shrieks and thunders louder than your own?
Alas I ev'n your unhallow'd breath May spare the victim fallen low ; But Man will ask no truce to death, — No bounds to human woe.
r. Campbell cccv YARROW UNVISITED 1803 From Stirling Castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravell'd, Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay, And with the Tweed had travell'd ; And when we came to Clovenford, Then said my * winsome Marrow,* * Whate'er betide, we'll turn aside.
