she wants but — sympathy. She play'd, and sung, and gaz'd the while, And thus a captive made his heart ; The serpent's lure was in her smile, A basilisk's pow'r her eyes could dart ! Her accents soft were as the dew, That falls upon an opening flow'r : Few were her words, — but oh, that few Depriv'd the Wand'rer's mind of pow'r. AH he could say was, Anna, love ! How dear thou'rt to me Heaven best know: Wilt thou life's wanderings, rove ? — For thee this bosom only glows. ■#*####**-* Did B. M. S...ay, that « love is folly ?" Where did he learn it ? bv what rules ; WANDERER IN AYRSHIRE. 85 Oh, 'tis a pleasing melancholy, Forbidden to unhappy fools. I wait the plaintive songstress in the wood, Hark ! now she comes ; — no ! 'tis a larger fowl : Oh, guard me, Heaven ! that screech congeals my blood ! — A Scottish nightingale, — a villain owl ! Oh, land, not more renown'd for martial swains, Than deep clad vallies, and thrice fertile plains ; For thriving villages, where varied toil And fair industry ever seem to smile; While healthy peasantry, a brawny race, Those plains and villages with morals grace.
