"KILMENY looked up with a lovely grace,
But nae smile was seen on Kilmeny's face;
As still was her look, and as still was her ee,
As the stillness that lay on the emerant lea,
Or the mist that sleeps on a waveless sea.
.    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .
Such beauty bard may never declare,
For there was no pride nor passion there;
.    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .
Her seymar was the lily flower,
And her cheek the moss-rose in the shower;
And her voice like the distant melodye
That floats along the twilight sea."

–The Queen's Wake
