Up cam the tide wi' a burst and a whush, / And back gaed the stanes wi' a whurr; / The king's son walkit i' the evenin hush, / To hear the sea murmur and murr.
Straucht ower the water slade frae the mune / A glimmer o' cauld weet licht; / Ane o' her horns rase the water abune, / And lampit across the nicht.
