| Slow spreads the gloom my soul desires | B |
| The sun from India's shore retires | C |
| To EVAN'S banks with temp'rate ray | D |
| Home of my youth he leads the day | D |
| O banks to me for ever dear | E |
| O stream whose murmurs still I hear | F |
| All all my hopes of bliss reside | G |
| Where EVAN mingles with the CLYDE | G |

| And she in simple beauty drest | G |
| Whose image lives within my breast | G |
| Who trembling heard my parting sigh | A |
| And long pursued me with her eye | A |
| Does she with heart unchang'd as mine | H |
| Oft in the vocal bowers recline | H |
| Or where yon grot o'erhangs the tide | G |
| Muse while the EVAN meets the CLYDE | G |

| - | |
| Ye lofty banks that EVAN bound | G |
| Ye lavish woods that wave around | G |
| And o'er the stream your shadows throw | I |
| Which softly winds so far below | I |
| What secret charm to mem'ry brings | J |
| All that on EVAN'S border springs | J |
| Sweet banks ye bloom by MARY'S side | G |
| Blest stream she views thee haste to CLYDE | G |

| IV | A |
| - | |
| Can all the wealth of INDIA'S coast | G |
| Atone for years in absence lost | G |
| Return ye moments of delight | G |
| With richer treasures bless my sight | G |
| Swift from this desert let me part | G |
| And fly to meet a kindred heart | G |
| Nor more may aught my steps divide | G |
| From that dear stream which flows to CLYDE | G |
