Rhyme Scheme: ABAA CDCE CFCF GAGA HIHI JKJL AAAA

Our native land our native valeA
A long and last adieuB
Farewell to bonny TeviotdaleA
And Cheviot mountains blueA
-
Farewell ye hills of glorious deedsC
And streams renown'd in singD
Farewell ye braes and blossom'd meadsC
Our hearts have lov'd so longE
-
Farewell the blythesome broomy knowesC
Where thyme and harebells growF
Farewell the hoary haunted howesC
O'erhung with birk and sloeF
-
The mossy cave and mouldering towerG
That skirt our native dellA
The martyr's grave and lover's bowerG
We bid a sad farewellA
-
Home of our love our fathers' homeH
Land of the brave and freeI
The sail is flapping on the foamH
That bears us far from theeI
-
We seek a wild and distant shoreJ
Beyond the western mainK
We leave thee to return no moreJ
Nor view thy cliffs againL
-
Our native land our native valeA
A long and last adieuA
Farewell to bonny TeviotdaleA
And Scotland's mountains blueA
