T
In cultured beauty stretching wide;
There Pentland’s green acclivities;
There ocean, with its azure tide;
There Arthur’s Seat; and gleaming through
Thy southern wing, Dunedin blue!
While in the orient, Lammer’s daughters,
A distant giant range, are seen,
North Berwick Law, with cone of green,
And Bass amid the waters.
