Ye lovers of the picturesque, away and see <br />Beautiful Balmoral, near by the River Dee; <br />There ye will see the deer browsing on the heathery hills, <br />While adown their sides run clear sparkling rills. <br /> <br />Which the traveller can drink of when he feels dry, <br />And admire the dark River Dee near by, <br />Rolling smoothly and silently on its way, <br />Which is most lovely to see on a summer day. <br /> <br />There the trout do sport and play <br />During the live-long summer day; <br />Also plenty of salmon are there to be seen, <br />Glittering like silver in the sun's sheen. <br /> <br />And the mountains are rugged and wild to be seen, <br />But the woodlands are beautiful when Nature's face is green; <br />There numerous rabbits do gambol all day <br />Amongst the green scrubbery all lively and gay. <br /> <br />There's one charming spot most magnificent to be seen, <br />'Tis Balmoral Castle, the Highland Home of our Queen; <br />The surrounding scenery is enchanting to see, <br />While near by rolls past the lovely River Dee. <br /> <br />Therefore, ye lovers of the picturesque, away and see <br />Beautiful Balmoral Castle and its grand scenery, <br />And the sight will fill your hearts with glee, <br />As ye walk along the bonnie banks o' the River Dee.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-balmoral/
