four lines. VOL. V. B 8 THE MAID OF ISLA, (IMITATED FROM THE GAELIC.)WRITTEN FOR THIS WORK BY SIR WALTER SCOTT, BART. ) O Maid of Isla, from yon cliff,That looks oil troubled wave and sky,Dost thou not see yon little skiff,Contend with ocean gallantly ?Now beating gainst the breeze and surge,And steepd her leeward deck in foam,Why does she war unequal urge ?O Islas Maid, she seeks her home. O Islas Maid, yon sea-bird mark,Her white wing gleams through mist and spray.Against the storm-cloud, lowering dark,As to the rock she wheels her way.Where clouds are dark and billows rave.Why to the shelter should she comeOf cliff exposed to wind and wave ?—O Maid of Isla, tis her home. As breeze and tide to yonder skiff,Thourt adverse to the suit I bring,And cold as is yon wintery cliff,Where sea-birds close their wearied wing.Yet cold as rock, unkind as wave,Still, Islas Maid, to thee I come;For in thy love, or in his grave,Must Allan Vourich find his home. .)
