| Degged with dew dappled with dew | F |
| Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through | F |
| Wiry heathpacks flitches of fern | G |
| And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn | G |

| What would the world be once bereft | H |
| Of wet and of wildness Let them be left | H |
| O let them be left wildness and wet | I |
| Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet | I |
