Song to a Scotch Air

by Reginald Heber 1783–1826

From The Poetical Works of Reginald Heber (Lansdowne Poets)

Arts & Sciences

I Love the harp with silver sound
That rings the festal hall around;
But sweetest of all
The strains which fall
When twilight mirth with song is crowned.

I love the bugle's warbling swell
When echo answers from her cell;
But sweeter to me,
When I list to thee,
Who wak'st the northern lay so well.
