Nora's Vow.

Hoar what Highland Nora said, " T;ie Erlie'i son I will not wed, Should all the race of Nature die, And none be left hut he and I. For all the gold, for ail the gear. For all the land both tar and near, That ever valour lost or won, i would not wed the Erne's son. A maiden, vows," old Cullum spoke, u Are lightly made and lightly broke ; The heather on the mountain's height Begins to bloom in purple light ; The frost wind soon shall sweep away That lustre deep from glen and brae j

Yet Nora, ere the bloom be gone.

May blythely wed the Erlle's son.1

" Trie, swan,' she said," the lark,s clear breast, Mavffifrter for the eagle's nest ; The pwc's fierce stream may backward turn ; Ben Cruaihan (all and crush Kilchurn ; Our kilted clans, when blood is high, Before their foes may turn and fly ; But I were all these marvels done, Would never wed the Erlie's ion. Still in the water-lilies shade, Her wonted nest the wild swan made ; Ben Cruaihan stands as fast as ev , Still downward foams the Awe's tierce river ; To shun the clash of foeman's steel. No Highland brogue has fcurn'd the bed; But Nora's heart is lost and won, She's wedded to the Erlie's son.
