Drain with the intricate skill of thy art Youth's wine-chalice into thy song! ( 61 ) A PILGRIM OF THE UPLANDS Forty below in the uplands, and the wind was bitter keen! I sat at my frosted window, and the snow was a silver sheen ! Fang-peaks gnawed the steely sky, and the moonlight glared between ! Out in the wind-washed barrens, where the trees drooped ghostly-pale, I scanned the snow-spread chuchyard that gleamed in the dazzled vale, Where the village dead lay sleeping by the side of the uplan...d trail. I could hear a far wolf wailing his melancholy tone ; But out among the silent tombs, where gleams of moonlight shone, I saw the twisted figure of a man who walked alone. He stooped hard at the shoulders, and crouched amid the gloom; Would pause at some dim monument, but soon again resume His half -mysterious journey; then he knelt down by a tomb. Everyone knows the story of the girl that is buried there. Men called her a flaxen beauty, with a proud, but loving, air. She was shot dead in a cabin on the banks of the Little Bear.
