Beautiful silvery Tay, <br />With your landscapes, so lovely and gay, <br />Along each side of your waters, to Perth all the way; <br />No other river in the world has got scenery more fine, <br />Only I am told the beautiful Rhine, <br />Near to Wormit Bay, it seems very fine, <br />Where the Railway Bridge is towering above its waters sublime, <br />And the beautiful ship Mars, <br />With her Juvenile Tare, <br />Both lively and gay, <br />Does carelessly lie By night and by day, <br />In the beautiful Bay <br />Of the silvery Tay. <br />Beautiful, beautiful silvery Tay, <br />Thy scenery is enchanting on a fine summer day, <br />Near by Balnerino it is beautiful to behold, <br />When the trees are in full bloom and the cornfields seems like gold - <br />And nature's face seems gay, <br />And the lambkins they do play, <br />And the humming bee is on the wing, <br />It is enough to make one sing, <br />While they carelessly do stray, <br />Along the beautiful banks of the silvery Tay, <br />Beautiful silvery Tay, <br />Rolling smoothly on your way, <br />Near by Newport, as clear as the day, <br />Thy scenery around is charming I'll be bound... <br />And would make the heart of any one feel light and gay on a fine summer day, <br />To view the beautiful scenery along the banks of the silvery Tay.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-descriptive-poem-on-the-silvery-tay/
