Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJK LMNNOPQQ| ADMIRING Nature in her wildest grace | A |
| These northern scenes with weary feet I trace | A |
| O'er many a winding dale and painful steep | B |
| Th' abodes of covey'd grouse and timid sheep | B |
| My savage journey curious I pursue | C |
| Till fam'd Breadalbane opens to my view | C |
| The meeting cliffs each deep sunk glen divides | D |
| The woods wild scatter'd clothe their ample sides | D |
| Th' outstretching lake imbosomed 'mong the hills | E |
| The eye with wonder and amazement fills | E |
| The Tay meand'ring sweet in infant pride | F |
| The palace rising on his verdant side | F |
| The lawns wood fring'd in Nature's native taste | G |
| The hillocks dropt in Nature's careless haste | G |
| The arches striding o'er the new born stream | H |
| The village glittering in the noontide beam | H |
| Poetic ardours in my bosom swell | I |
| Lone wand'ring by the hermit's mossy cell | I |
| The sweeping theatre of hanging woods | J |
| Th' incessant roar of headlong tumbling floods | K |
| Here Poesy might wake her heav'n taught lyre | L |
| And look through Nature with creative fire | M |
| Here to the wrongs of Fate half reconcil'd | N |
| Misfortunes lighten'd steps might wander wild | N |
| And Disappointment in these lonely bounds | O |
| Find balm to soothe her bitter rankling wounds | P |
| Here heart struck Grief might heav'nward stretch her scan | Q |
| And injur'd Worth forget and pardon man | Q |
