GLENCOE.



We met again by miracle:
    Thou wert another one
Saved from this work of sin and death,—
    I was not quite alone.

And then I heard the evil tale
    Of guilt and suffering,
Till I prayed the curse of God might fall
    On the false-hearted king.

I will not think on this,—for thou
    Art saved, and saved for me!
And gallantly my little bark
    Cuts through the moonlight sea.

There's not a shadow in the sky,
    The waves are bright below;
