Beautiful Loch Leven, near by Kinross <br />For a good day's fishing the angler is seldom at a loss, <br />For the Loch it abounds with pike and trout, <br />Which can be had for the catching without any doubt; <br />And the scenery around it is most beautiful to be seen, <br />Especially the Castle, wherein was imprisoned Scotland's ill-starred Queen. <br /> <br />Then there's the lofty Lomond Hills on the Eastern side, <br />And the loch is long, very deep, and wide; <br />Then on the Southern side there's Benarty's rugged hills, <br />And from the tops can be seen the village of Kinross with its spinning mills. <br /> <br />The big house of Kinross is very handsome to be seen, <br />With its beautiful grounds around it, and the lime trees so green <br />And 'tis a magnificent sight to see, on a fine summer afternoon, <br />The bees extracting honey from the leaves when in full bloom. <br /> <br />There the tourist can enjoy himself and while away the hours, <br />Underneath the lime trees shady bowers, <br />And listen to the humming of the busy bees, <br />While they are busy gathering honey from the lime trees. <br /> <br />Then there's the old burying ground near by Kinross, <br />And the dead that lie there turned into dusty dross, <br />And the gravestones are all in a state of decay, <br />And the old wall around it is mouldering away.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loch-leven/
