There’s a livelier shine on the dead 
Leaves of autumn than in this lair 
And many a time my bonny 

Lorine had seen it there.

  3. Indeed, she did, Duncan and she put it all into song so beautifully alive as the ballad RDB gives us of the Earl of Morey--my thanks to you and Tom for sharing your thoughts on this piece.
