Cfje 3$irti0 of ®ebon* ODE TO A PAIR OF RING-OUZELS. A deep and solemn silence broodsOver the breezy solitudesWhereon the mountaineer intrudes To crown a summer climb:The soaring lark, a dreamy bee,A pipit twittering from the leaBeguiled the journey, but no glee Disturbs the peak sublime. Yet music haunts it, and ere longFrom some wild crag will float a song,Perchance the protest loud and strong Of one who brooks no guest;Perhaps a love-plaint true and clear.Meant to attract the distant earOf wandering mate called back to cheer. Or mind the busy nest. Sweep the grey boulders, and you soonShall see the form whence flows the tune.And mark a crescent like the moon, Beneath a sable throat,With golden lips that warble tillThe yearnings melt into a trillOf joy, as flitting round the hill The truant hears his note.
