Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of Sir Walter Scott: Addressed to the Rev. R. Polwhele; D. Gilbert, Francis Douce
Tho' now a thicket dark and wild, Where rise my statelier sycamores, Its spirit to my soul restores And midst the ivied boughs, I break, And listen to the hawk's shrill shriek, Flush from her nook the ham-owl gray, And chase - how pert - the painted jay.
