That rose on wooded Craigie-burn,

And sank on crystal Devon.

I matched with Scotland’s heathery hills

The sweetbrier and the clover;

With Ayr and Doon, my native rills,

Their wood hymns chanting over.

O’er rank and pomp, as he had seen,

I saw the Man uprising;

No longer common or unclean,

The child of God’s baptizing!
