One calm harvest-morn he chased a wild deer, O'er the brown mountain-peaks, with his sharp hunting spear Thro' dark gorge and green heath the frighted beast flew, But fix'd in his flank was the steel of Seaan Rudh: Thro' the gloom of the forest the fainting deer fled, And fern and blade, with his life-drops grew red; To the glen, where young Eily so long lived retired, The child of the desert rush'd down, and expired; The maiden went forth from her home in the shade, And moved to the spot where the wild deer was laid; 'Tis her own favourite roebuck that lifeless lies there, And she rung her white hands, with a scream of despair.
