A Scottish Ghost Story of Yore
Ticonderoga*
A Legend of the West Highlands
This is the tale of the man
Who heard a word in the night
In the land of the heathery hills,
In the days of the feud and the fight.
By the sides of the rainy sea,
Where never a stranger came,
On the awful lips of the dead,
He heard the outlandish name.
It sang in his sleeping ears
It hummed in his waking head:
The name ~ Ticonderoga,
the utterance of the dead.
