Rh 5.

One sigh of thy sorrow, one look of thy love,

Shall turn me or fix, shall reward or reprove;

And the heartless may wonder at all I resign—

Thy lip shall reply, not to them, but to mine. May 4, 1814. [First published, Letters and Journals, 1830, i. 554.]

ADDRESS INTENDED TO BE RECITED AT THE CALEDONIAN MEETING.

hath not glowed above the page where Fame

Hath fixed high Caledon's unconquered name;

The mountain-land which spurned the Roman chain,

And baffled back the fiery-crested Dane,

Whose bright claymore and hardihood of hand

No foe could tame—no tyrant could command?

That race is gone—but still their children breathe,

And Glory crowns them with redoubled wreath:

O'er Gael and Saxon mingling banners shine,

And, England! add their stubborn strength to thine.
