A MOUNTAIN ROUND.

By William Allingham

TAKE hands, merry neighbours, for dancing the round!

Moonlight is fair and delicious the air;

From valley to valley our music shall sound,

And startle the wolf in his lair.

From summits of snow to the forest below,

Let vulture and crow hear the echoes, O-ho! ( O-ho! )

While shadow on meadow in dancing the round

Goes whirligig, pair after pair!
