THE BROKEN SWORD.
THE BROKEN SWORD,
A TRADITIONARY TALE OF CULLODEN.
It fell on that eventful day
The Stuart's hapless cause
Was blighted on Culloden field,
By stem unyielding laws.
The fight was o'er — the vanquished bands
Fled far to wood and wild ; —
many a tear was shed that day
By father and by child.
The shades of even robed in gloom
The oaks of old Dunean,
As by theh- pathless mazes sped,
A wanderer from the plain.
