It bewildered Maud to see that not only overhead arched a star-bespangled sky, but likewise underneath her feet the same solemn starry splendour was revealed, as if the slight fairy people walked, between two heavens, upon the milkwhite vapour which rolled on under them like clouds.— Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine - Volume 55, No. 344, June, 1844
When rosy day, far in the west, has vanish'd frae the scene And gloamin' spreads her mantle gray owre lake and mountain green When yet the darklin' shades o' mirk but haflens seem to lower How dear to love and beauty is the e'ening's dewy hour When down the burnie's wimpling course, amid the hazel shade The robin chants his vesper sang, the cushat seeks the glade When bats their drowsy vigils wheel round eldrich tree and tower Be 't mine to meet the lass I lo'e at e'ening's dewy hour When owre the flower-bespangled sward the flocks have ceased to stray And maukin steals across the lawn beneath the twilight gray Then, oh!— The Modern Scottish Minstrel, Volume V. The Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century
