Poem
Beautiful city of Edinburgh, most wonderful to be seen, With your ancient palace of Holyrood and Queen's Park Green, And your big, magnificent, elegant New College, Where people from all nations can be taught knowledge. The New College of Edinburgh is certainly very grand Which I consider to be an honour to fair Scotland, Because it's the biggest in the world, without any doubt, And is most beautiful in the inside as well as out. And the Castle is wonderful to look upon, Which has withstood many angry tempests in years bygone; And the rock it's built upon is rugged and lovely to be seen When the shrubberies surrounding it are blown full green. Morningside is lovely and charming to be seen; The gardens there are rich with flowers and shrubberies green And sweet scented perfumes fill the air, Emanating from the sweet flowers and beautiful plants there. And as for Braidhill, it's a very romantic spot, But a fine place to visit when the weather is hot; There the air is nice and cool, which will help to drive away sorrow When ye view from its summit the beautiful city of Edinburgh. And as for the statues, they are very grand- They cannot be surpassed in any foreign land; And the scenery is attractive and fascinating to the eye, And arrests the attention of tourists as they pass by. Lord Melville's Monument is most elegant to be seen, Which is situated in St. Andrew's Square, amongst shrubberies green, Which seems most gorgeous to the eye, Because it is towering so very high. The Prince Albert Consort Statue looks very grand, Especially the granite blocks whereon it doth stand, Which is admired by all tourists as they pass by, Because the big granite blocks seem magnificent to the eye. Princes Street West End Garden Is fascinating to be seen, With its beautiful big trees and shrubberies green, And its magnificent water fountain in the valley below Helps to drive away from the tourist all care and woe. The Castle Hotel is elegant and grand, And students visit it from every foreign land, And the students of Edinburgh often call there To rest and have luncheon, at a very cheap fare. Queen Street Garden seems charming to the eye, And a great boon it is to the tenantry near by, As they walk along the grand gravel walks near there, Amongst the big trees and shrubberies, and inhale pure air. Then, all ye tourists, be advised by me, Beautiful Edinburgh ye ought to go and see. It's the only city I know of where ye can wile away the time By viewing its lovely scenery and statues fine. Magnificent city of Edinburgh, I must conclude my muse, But to write in praise of thee I cannot refuse. I will tell the world boldly without dismay You have the biggest college in the world at the present day. Of all the cities in the world, Edinburgh for me; For no matter where I look, some lovely spot I see; And for picturesque scenery unrivalled you do stand. Therefore I pronounce you to be the Pride of Fair Scotland.
