Caledonia's Old Pride -



EDINBURGH
or, "Auld Reekie."

Auld Reekie, Caledonia's pride,
So dignified you stand ;
With ancient Athens oft compared,
Sae classic, and sae grand.
Your grim old giant castle rock,
Your palaces and towers;
The scenes of knightly chivalry,
Among your ruling powers.

Your Calton Hill, and Holyrood,
Wi' Arthur's Seat sae fine;
Your courts of law, and halls of art,
Wi' famous annals shine.
For everything the heart can crave,
Auld Reekie can supply;
E'en from the cradle to the grave, --
That, no one can deny.

For jolly, hearty, honest folks,
For school and college classes;
For sturdy, manly-hearted men,
As well as bonnie lasses ;
Auld Reekie, Caledonia's pride,
Wi' ancient honours crown'd; --
Wealth, learning, culture, side by side,
And hand-in-hand are found.

Edina, dear! my childhood's home,
Romantic, beautiful,
Accept from me, since forced to roam,
My homage dutiful.

Long may your city fathers guard,
With zealous, watchful care,
Her name and fame, and, as reward,
Her children's blessing share.

Now, for my closing verse, a toast,
And it shall be "Auld Reekie!"
With heart and voice, but not with boast,
Old Edinburgh City.
