THE scenery of Baldovan Is most lovely to see, Near by Dighty Water, Not far from Dundee. 'Tis health for any one To be walking there, O'er the green swards of Baldovan, And in the forests fair. There the blackbird and the mavis Together merrily do sing In the forest of Baldovan, Making the woodlands to ring. 'Tis delightful to hear them On a fine summer day, Carolling their cheerful notes So blythe and so gay. Then there's the little loch near by, Whereon can be seen every day Numerous wild ducks swimming And quacking in their innocent play. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
