REC'D: 1/8/02, 2:55 PM

We have a patron who is trying to identify a poem.
Her husband used to quote a line from what was a
gradeschool recitation for him. It may be Scottish
and may or may not be by Burns. The quote as close as
she could come is:

"Hind at E'en (could be Eden or even) hath drunk his
(it's) fill"

Somewhere after this part there is a rhyme that
includes the word "rill".

Thanks,
Jane Jorgenson

From Sir Walter Scott's Lady of the Lake:

"The stag at eve had drunk his fill,
Where danced the moon on Monan's rill,
And deep his midnight lair had made
In lone Glenartney's hazel shade;
But when the sun his beacon red
Had kindled on Benvoirlich's head,
The deep-mouthed bloodhound's heavy bay
Resounded up the rocky way,
And faint, from farther distance borne,
Were heard the clanging hoof and horn."

The stag at eve had drunk his fill,
Where danced the moon on Monan's rill,
And deep his midnight lair had made
In lone Glenartney's hazel shade;
But, when the sun his beacon red
Had kindled on Benvoirlich's head,
The deep-mouth'd bloodhound's heavy bay
Resounded up the rocky way,
And faint, from farther distance borne,
Were heard the clanging hoof and horn.

Sir Walter Scott, "The Lady of the Lake"
