| north wind resounds through the | A |
| woods White clouds rise on the sky the | A |
| trembling snow descends The river howls | B |
| afar along its winding course Sad | C |
| by a hollow rock the grey hair'd Carryl | D |
| sat Dry fern waves over his head his | E |
| seat is in an aged birch Clear to the | A |
| roaring winds he lifts his voice of woe | F |
| - | |
| Tossed on the wavy ocean is He | G |
| the hope of the isles Malcolm the | A |
| support of the poor foe to the proud | H |
| in arms Why hast thou left us behind | I |
| why live we to mourn thy fate We | G |
| might have heard with thee the voice | J |
| of the deep have seen the oozy rock | K |
| - | |
| Sad on the sea beat shore thy spouse | L |
| looketh for thy return The time of | M |
| thy promise is come the night is gathering | N |
| around But no white sail is | E |
| on the sea no voice is heard except | O |
| the blustering winds Low is the soul | D |
| of the war Wet are the locks of youth | P |
| By the foot of some rock thou liest | O |
| washed by the waves as they come | Q |
| Why ye winds did ye bear him on | R |
| the desert rock Why ye waves did | O |
| ye roll over him | S |
| - | |
| But Oh what voice is that | O |
| Who rides on that meteor of fire Green | T |
| are his airy limbs It is he it is the | A |
| ghost of Malcolm Rest lovely soul | D |
| rest on the rock and let me hear thy | U |
| voice He is gone like a dream of | M |
| the night I see him through the trees | V |
| Daughter of Reynold he is gone | W |
| Thy spouse shall return no more No | F |
| more shall his hounds come from the | A |
| hill forerunners of their master No | F |
| more from the distant rock shall his | E |
| voice greet thine ear Silent is he in | X |
| the deep unhappy daughter of Reynold | O |
| - | |
| I will sit by the stream of the plain | Y |
| Ye rocks hang over my head Hear | Z |
| my voice ye trees as ye bend on the | A |
| shaggy hill My voice shall preserve | A2 |
| the praise of him the hope of the isles | B2 |
