At the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon 
I heard the falling echo of a song, 
down by the linn where the wild-brier hangs over the swirling foam. 
Ah swirling foam, ah poignant breath of the wild brier, 
now that I hear no haunting-sweet echo of a falling song 
at the rising of the moon.

by Fiona Macleod (1885-1905) [pseudonym] , "At the rising of the moon", from From the Hills of Dream, in The Silence of Amor, published 1896
