SONG OF THE HUNTER'S BRIDE.
323



The eagle sails in darkness past,
    The watchful chamois bounds;
But what I look for comes not near,—
    My Ulric's hawk and hounds.

Three times I thus have watched the snow
    Grow crimson with the stain
The setting sun threw o'er the rock,
    And I have watched in vain.

I love to see the graceful bow
    Across his shoulder slung,—
I love to see the golden horn
    Beside his baldric hung.
