Excerpt from The Dominie's Legacy, Vol. 2 of 3 But I looked to the right as I went musing ou ward, and there still remained the identical Lilly burn wood, where Mary and I used to wander, and to pick cowslips and gather blackberries, when we were children; and there was still the little green broomy hill, behind which I used to watch for her, when she grew tall and modest, and would not look at me when any one was by. But the hill seemed, after all, only a bare and withered knoll; I thought the wood looked now diminutive and scattered, as the trees whistled mournfully in the wind and my heart smote me with a convio tion of the instability of our dearest enj oyments.
