| | (From The Lay of the Last Minstrel)
SWEET Teviot! on thy silver tide | |
| The glaring bale-fires blaze no more; | |
| No longer steel-clad warriors ride | |
| Along thy wild and willowed shore; | |
| Where’er thou wind’st, by dale or hill, | 5 |
| All, all is peaceful, all is still, | |
| As if thy waves, since Time was born, | |
| Since first they rolled upon the Tweed, | |
| Had only heard the shepherd’s reed, | |
| Nor started at the bugle-horn. | 10 | | | |
