<h2 id="c13">A WINTER-PIECE AMONG THE PENTLANDS.</h2>
<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">A flock of fieldfares from the leafless trees</p>
<p class="t">Flew chattering mournfully, while here and there</p>
<p class="t0">A single redwing flung upon the breeze</p>
<p class="t">A sigh that seem’d the utterance of despair.</p>
</div>
<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">But on the burn, scarce half a mile below,</p>
<p class="t">The bluff white-breasted ouzel from a rock</p>
<p class="t0">Pour’d his bold song—a huddling overflow</p>
<p class="t">Of mirth, those faint-heart winter-fowl to mock.</p>
