Beautiful Village Of Penicuik Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJK LLAA| The village of Penicuik with its neighbouring spinning mills | A |
| Is most lovely to see and the Pentland Hills | A |
| And though of a barren appearance and some parts steep | B |
| They are covered with fine pasture and sustain flocks of sheep | B |
| - | |
| There tourists while there should take a good look | C |
| By viewing the surrounding beauties of Penicuik | C |
| About three miles south west is the romantic locality | D |
| Of Newhall which is most fascinating and charming to see | D |
| - | |
| Then about half a mile above Newhall the River Esk is seen | E |
| Which sparkles like crystal in the sun's sheen | E |
| And on the Esk there's a forking ridge forming a linn | F |
| Betwixt two birch trees which makes a noisy din | F |
| - | |
| And on a rocky protuberance close by is Mary Stuart's bower | G |
| Where Scotland's ill starred Queen spent many an hour | G |
| Which is composed of turf and a nice round seat | H |
| Commanding a full view of the linn the sight is quite a treat | H |
| - | |
| Then there's Habbie's Howe where the beauties of summer grow | I |
| Which cannot be excelled in Scotland for pastoral show | I |
| Tis one of the most beautiful landscapes in fair Scotland | J |
| For the scenery there is most charming and grand | K |
| - | |
| Then ye tourists to the village of Penicuik haste away | L |
| And there spend the lovely summer day | L |
| By climbing the heathy barren Pentland Hills | A |
| And drink the pure water from their crystal rills | A |
