the braes ascend like lofty wa's,

the foaming stream deep-roaring fa's,

o'erhung wi' fragrant spreading shaws—

the birks of aberfeldy.

the hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers,

white o'er the linns the burnie pours,

and rising, weets wi' misty showers

the birks of aberfeldy.

boniessie, c.

let fortune's gifts at randoe flee,

they ne'er shall draw a wish frae me;

supremely blest wi' love and thee,

in the birks of aberfeldy.
