‘Where shall the lover rest’ | | By Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832) |
| | From ‘Marmion’
WHERE shall the lover rest, | |
| Whom the fates sever | |
| From his true maiden’s breast, | |
| Parted for ever? | |
| Where, through groves deep and high, | 5 |
| Sounds the far billow, | |
| Where early violets die, | |
| Under the willow. | |
| |
| Eleu loro, Soft shall be his pillow. | |
| |
| There, through the summer day, | 10 |
| Cool streams are laving; | |
| There, while the tempests sway, | |
| Scarce are boughs waving; | |
| There, thy rest shalt thou take, | |
| Parted for ever, | 15 |
| Never again to wake, | |
| Never, O never! | | | | |
