| Of the ocean the mist and the wind | B |
| Thou land of the torrent the pine and the oak | C |
| Of the roebuck the hart and the hind | B |
| Though bare are thy cliffs and though barren thy glens | D |
| Though bleak thy dun islands appear | E |
| Yet kind are the hearts and undaunted the clans | F |
| That roam on these mountains so drear | E |
| - | |
| A foe from abroad or a tyrant at home | G |
| Could never thy ardour restrain | H |
| The marshall'd array of imperial Rome | G |
| Essay'd thy proud spirit in vain | H |
| Firm seat of religion of valour of truth | I |
| Of genius unshackled and free | E |
| The muses have left all the vales of the south | J |
| My loved Caledonia for thee | E |
| - | |
| Sweet land of the bay and wild winding deeps | F |
| Where loveliness slumbers at even | K |
| While far in the depth of the blue water sleeps | F |
| A calm little motionless heaven | L |
| Thou land of the valley the moor and the hill | M |
| Of the storm and the proud rolling wave | N |
| Yes thou art the land of fair liberty still | M |
| And the land of my forefathers' grave | N |
