Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

There shall he love when genial morn appears,
Like pensive Beauty smiling in her tears.

"Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle,
This dark and stormy water?"
"O I'm the chief of Ulva's isle,
And this, Lord Ullin's daughter.

There was silence deep as death,
And the boldest held his breath,
For a time.
