The Bkilful Marmion well could know, They watchM the motions of some foe, Who traversed on the plain below.
XIX.
Even so it was ; — from Flodden ridge The Scots beheld the English host Leave Barmore-wood, their evening post.
And heedful watch'd them as they crossM The Till by Twisel Bridge.
High sight it is, and haughty, while They dive into the deep defile ; Beneath the cavemM cliff they fall, Beneath the castle^s airy wall.
By rock, by oak, by hawthorn tree.
Troop after troop are disappearing... ; Troop after troop their banners rearing.
Upon the eastern bank you see.
Still pouring down the rocky den, Where flows the sullen Till, And rising from the dim-wood glen.
Standards on standards, men on men.
In slow succession still, And sweeping o'^er the Gothic arch.
And pressing on, in ceaseless march, To gain the opposing hill.
That mom to many a trumpet- clang, Twisel ! thy rock's deep echo rang ; THE BATTLE. . 236 And many a chief of birth and rank, Saint Helen ! at thy fountain drank.
Thy hawthorn glade, which now we see In spring-tide bloom so lavishly, Had then from many an axe its doom, To give the marching columns room.
