Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFGG FFHH IIJJ KKLL MNOO OOOO JJEE OOFF EEPP| Beautiful Den o' Fowlis most charming to be seen | A |
| In the summer season when your trees are green | A |
| Especially in the bright and clear month of June | B |
| When your flowere and shrubberies are in full bloom | C |
| - | |
| There visitors can enjoy themselves during the holidays | D |
| And be shaded by the trees from the sun's rays | D |
| And admire the beautiful primroses that grow there | E |
| And inhale their sweet perfume that fills the air | E |
| - | |
| There the little children sport and play | F |
| Blythe and gay during the live long summer day | F |
| In its beautiful green and cool shady bowers | G |
| Chasing the bee and butterfly and pulling the flowers | G |
| - | |
| There the Minnows loup and play | F |
| In the little rivulet all the day | F |
| Right in the hollow of that fairy like Den | H |
| Together in little shoals of nine or ten | H |
| - | |
| And the Mavis and Blackbird merrily sing | I |
| Making the Den with their notes to ring | I |
| From high noon till sunset at night | J |
| Filling the visitor's heart with delight | J |
| - | |
| Tis most lovely to see the trees arched overhead | K |
| And the little rivulet rolling o'er its pebbly bed | K |
| Ane near by is an old Meal Mill | L |
| Likewise an old Church and Churchyard where the dead lie still | L |
| - | |
| The Den is always cool in the summer time | M |
| Because it is so closely shaded from the sunshine | N |
| By the spreading branches of the trees | O |
| While the murmuring of the rivulet is heard on the night breeze | O |
| - | |
| It is a very magnificent spot the Den o' Fowlis | O |
| And where oft the wintry wind it howls | O |
| Among its bare end leafless withered trees | O |
| And with fear wonld almost make one's heart to freeze | O |
| - | |
| To be walking through it on a dark wintry night | J |
| Because the bare trees seem like spectres to your sight | J |
| And everything around seems dark and drear | E |
| And fills the timid mind with an undefinable fear | E |
| - | |
| But in the summer season it is most lovely to see | O |
| With its fair flowers and romantic scenery | O |
| Where the people can enjoy themselves all the day | F |
| In the months of July June or May | F |
| - | |
| There the people can drink pure water when they are dry | E |
| From the wells of spring water in the Den near by | E |
| Which God has provided for his creatures in that lonely spot | P |
| And such a blessing to the people shouldn't be forgot | P |
