' An oozy film her limbs o'erspread, While slow unfolds her scaly train ; With gluey fangs her hands were clad, She lashed with webbed fin the main. He grasps the Mermaid's scaly sides, As with broad fin she oars her way ; Beneath the silent moon she glides, That sweetly sleeps on Colonsay. Proud swells her heart ! she deems at last To lure him with her silver tongue, And, as the shelving rocks she passed, She raised her voice and sweetly sung. THE NUT-BROWN MAID. In softer, sweeter strains she... sung, Slow gliding o'er the moonlight bay, When light to land the chieftain sprung, To hail the maid of Colonsay. O sad the Mermaid's gay notes fell, And sadly sink, remote at sea ! So sadly mourns the writhed shell Of Jura's shore, its parent sea. And ever as the year returns, The charm-bound sailors know the day ; For sadly still the Mermaid mourns The lovely chief of Colonsay. THE NUT-BROWN MAID* Now, between us, let us discuss What was all the manere Between them two : we will also Tell all the pain and fear That she was in.
