"Let Beeves and home-bred Kine partake
"The sweets of Burn-mill meadow;
"The Swan on still St. Mary's Lake
"Float double, Swan and Shadow!
"We will not see them; will not go,
"Today, nor yet tomorrow;
"Enough if in our hearts we know,
"There's such a place as Yarrow.

"Be Yarrow Stream unseen, unknown!
"It must, or we shall rue it:
"We have a vision of our own;
"Ah! why should we undo it?
"The treasured dreams of times long past
"We'll keep them, winsome Marrow!
"For when we're there although 'tis fair
"'Twill be another Yarrow!
