You hear a song in the village street, and pass along unmoved; but stand in the silence of the forest, with your feet in a bed of creeping snowberry and oxalis, and the same song goes to your very soul. The great distinction of the winter wren's melody is its marked rhythm and accent, which give it a martial, fife-like character.
The Border ballads, that go lilting along to the galloping of horses and jingling of spurs, are the interpretation of another side. The same active influence accompanies the Jacobite songs "Up wi' the bonnets for bonnie Dundee!" filled many a legion for Prince Charles and the blood kindles yet to their fife-like and drum-like movements.
