FINGAL'S SPIRIT-HOME.

His friends sit around the king, on mist! They hear the

songs of Ullin: he strikes the half-viewless harp. He raises

the feeble voice. The lesser heroes, with a thousand

meteors, light the airy hall. Malvina rises in the midst; a

blush is on her cheek. She beholds the unknown faces of her

fathers. She turns aside her humid eyes. 'Art thou come so

soon?' said Fingal, 'daughter of generous Toscar. Sadness

dwells in the halls of Lutha. My aged son is sad! I hear the

breeze of Cona, that was wont to lift thy heavy locks. It

comes to the hall, but thou art not there. Its voice is

mournful among the arms of thy fathers! Go, with thy

rustling wing, O breeze! sigh on Malvina's tomb. It rises

yonder beneath the rock, at the blue stream of Lutha. The

maids are departed to their place. Thou alone, O breeze,

mournest there!'
