Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEDD D FGFFGF HIHHJH HFHHFH KLKKMK| 'Delusive Nymph farewell ' | A |
| How oft we've said or sung | B |
| When balls evasive fell | C |
| Or in the jaws of 'Hell ' | A |
| Or salt sea weeds among | B |
| 'Mid shingle and sea shell | C |
| - | |
| How oft beside the Burn | D |
| We play the sad 'two more' | E |
| How often at the turn | D |
| The heather must we spurn | D |
| How oft we've 'topped and swore ' | - |
| In bent and whin and fern | D |
| - | |
| Yes when the broken head | F |
| Bounds further than the ball | G |
| The heart has inly bled | F |
| Ah and the lips have said | F |
| Words we would fain recall | G |
| Wild words of passion bred | F |
| - | |
| In bunkers all unknown | H |
| Far beyond 'Walkinshaw | I |
| Where never ball had flown | H |
| Reached by ourselves alone | H |
| Caddies have heard with awe | J |
| The music of our moan | H |
| - | |
| Yet Nymph if once alone | H |
| The ball hath featly fled | F |
| Not smitten from the bone | H |
| That drive doth still atone | H |
| And one long shot laid dead | F |
| Our grief to the winds hath blown | H |
| - | |
| So still beside the tee | K |
| We meet in storm or calm | L |
| Lady and worship thee | K |
| While the loud lark sings free | K |
| Piping his matin psalm | M |
| Above the grey sad sea | K |
