The scenery of Baldovan
Is most lovely to see,
Near by Dighty Water,
Not far from Dundee.
‘Tis health for any one
To be walking there,
O’er the green swards of Baldovan,
And in the forests fair.
There the blackbird and the mavis
Together merrily do sing
In the forest of Baldovan,
Making the woodlands to ring.
‘Tis delightful to hear them
On a fine summer day,
Carolling their cheerful notes
So blythe and so gay.
Then there’s the little loch near by,
Whereon can be seen every day
Numerous wild ducks swimming
And quacking in their innocent play.
(William Topaz McGonagall)
