Lord Lochinvar

Inspired by Lochinvar written by Sir Walter Scott located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Brave deeds unprevailed dauntless in war and hero to all

He walked tall among me a leader to all who followed unquestioningly

Riding a steed of strong hardy spirit he did who match was never found

Like two and the one they became undaunted relentless spirit in battle fore

None as faithful in amour for he traveled alone and far to plead to marry the fair Ellen

Clasping her hand softly he led in dance of quartet four whispering love words in ear of small

Whispering eternal vows they flowed as water smooth over floor over marble exchanging vows of undying love and devotion

Lochinvar and his loving bride left astride his charger and trusty steed they left to his castle in the West of Scotland
