46 ODE ON VISITING FLODDEN. Green Flodden, on thy blood-stain'd head Descend no rain nor vernal dew ! But still, thou chamel of the dead, May whitening bones thy surface strew ! Soon as I tread thy rush-clad vale. Wild fancy feels the clasping mail ; The rancour of a thousand years Glows in my breast ; again I burn To see the banner'd pomp of war return, And mark beneath the moon the siJver light of spears. Lo ! bursting from their common tomb, The spirits of the ancient dead Dimly streak the p...arted gloom, With awful faces, ghastly red ; As once around their martial king They clos'd the death-devoted ring, 47 ^With dauntless hearts, unknown to yield ; , In slow procession round the pile Of heaving corses moves each shadowy file, And chaunts in solemn strain the dirge of Flodden field. What youth, of graceful finrm and mien, Foremost leads the spectred brave, While o'er his mantle's folds of gre^i His amber locks redundant wave? Wb^ slow returns the fated day. That view'd their chieftain's long array.
