Beautiful Balmoral Castle, <br />Most handsome to be seen, <br />Highland home of the Empress of India, <br />Great Britain's Queen. <br /> <br />Your woods and waters and <br />Mountains high are most <br />Beautiful to see, <br />Near by Balmoral Castle <br />And the dark river Dee. <br /> <br />Then there's the hill of Cairngorm <br />To be seen from afar, <br />And the beautiful heathery hills <br />Of dark Lochnagar, <br />And the handsome little village- <br />The Castleton o' Braemar- <br />Which is most beautiful to see, <br />Near by Balmoral Castle <br />And the dark river Dee. <br /> <br />Then there's the handsome little church <br />Of Crathie- most beautiful to be seen ; <br />And the Queen goes there on Sunday <br />To hear the Word of God Most solemn and serene, <br />Which is most beautiful to see, <br />Nor far from Balmoral Castle <br />And the dark river Dee. <br /> <br />Then, when she finds herself <br />At leisure, she goes for to see <br />Her old female acquaintances <br />That lives on the river Dee, <br />And reads the Bible unto them, <br />Which is most beautiful to see, <br />Near by Balmoral Castle <br />And the dark river Dee.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/balmoral-castle/
