Beautiful Loch Ness, The truth to express, Your landscapes are lovely and gay, Along each side of your waters, to Fort Augustus all the way, Your scenery is romantic... With rocks and hills gigantic... Enough to make one frantic, As they view thy beautiful heathery hills, And their clear crystal rills, And the beautiful woodlands so green, On a fine summer day... From Inverness all the way... Where the deer and the roe together doth play; And the beautiful Falls of Foyers with its crystal spray, As clear as the day, Enchanting and gay, To the traveller as he gazes thereon, That he feels amazed with delight, To see the water falling from such a height, That his head feels giddy with the scene, As he views the Falls of Foyers and the woodlands so green, That he exclaims in an ecstasy of delight— Oh, beautiful Loch Ness! I must sincerely confess, That you are the most beautiful to behold, With your lovely landscapes and water so cold. And as he turns from the scene, he says with a sigh— Oh, beautiful Loch Ness! I must bid you good-bye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TANGENTIAL by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE EVENING WIND by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE HURRICANE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT LORD ULLIN'S DAUGHTER by THOMAS CAMPBELL LINES WRITTEN IN THE ALBUM AT ELBINGERODE, IN HARTZ FOREST by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE LOCHABER NO MORE by ALLAN RAMSAY SATIRE: 2 by AULUS PERSIUS FLACCUS AN EPITAPH, ON A FOOLISH BOASTER by PHILIP AYRES ASLEEP, ASLEEP; MARTYDOM OF SAINT STEPHEN by LUCY ANN BENNETT |
