Morven (Scottish Gaelic: ''A' Mhòr Bheinn'') is a Corbett in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is 871 m (2858 ft) high. The poet, Lord Byron, who spent some of his childhood in the area, mentions the mountain in his poem, ''When I Roved a Young Highlander'':〔http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/3451/〕 :''When I rov'd a young Highlander o'er the dark heath,'' :''And climb'd thy steep summit, oh Morven of snow!'' :''To gaze on the torrent that thunder'd beneath,'' :''Or the mist of the tempest that gather'd below; '' :''Untutor'd by science, a stranger to fear,'' :''And rude as the rocks, where my infancy grew,'' :''No feeling, save one, to my bosom was dear;'' :''Need I say, my sweet Mary, 'twas centred in you?'' The Mary mentioned here is Mary Duff, Byron's first love. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morven, Aberdeenshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
