Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFGHI| WAE worth thy power thou cursed leaf | A |
| Fell source o' a' my woe and grief | A |
| For lack o' thee I've lost my lass | B |
| For lack o' thee I scrimp my glass | B |
| I see the children of affliction | C |
| Unaided through thy curst restriction | C |
| I've seen the oppressor's cruel smile | D |
| Amid his hapless victim's spoil | E |
| And for thy potence vainly wished | F |
| To crush the villain in the dust | G |
| For lack o' thee I leave this much lov'd shore | H |
| Never perhaps to greet old Scotland more R B | I |
