    (continued from previous page)
    ever fair
    Unrivalled in beauty, or health in thy air.
    2. And thy castle, the old castle, hanging over the sea
    Ruined and time-worn though thy battlements be
    Though red lightnings flash round thee and storm fiends rave
    Still triumphant it stands, looking down on the wave.
    3. Oh to lounge on thy cliffs, on a fine summer day,
    And see all the beauties of lovely Doon Bay,
    Thy waves and the "Bridge" where the wild sea birds nest
    And look down on the strand when the waves are at rest.
