142 MINSTRELSY OF
But distant fleets each warrior ghost,
With surly sounds that murnuir far ;
Such sounds were heard when Syria's host
Roird from the walls of proud Samar.
Around my solitary head
Gleam the blue lightnings of the dead.
While murmur low the shadowy band
" Lament no more the A\'arrior's doom .'
" Blood, blood alone, should dew the hero's tomb,
" Who falls, 'mid circling spears, to save his native land.
