“ And one was round her lover.
“Come back! come back!” he cried in grief,
“Across this stormy water:
And I’ll forgive your Highland chief,—
My daughter! O my daughter!”
Twas vain: the loud waves lash’d the shore,
Return or aid preventing:—
The waters wild went o’er his child,
And he was left lamenting.
Thomas Campbell
