Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ed. Poems of Places: An Anthology in 31 Volumes.
Scotland: Vols. VI–VIII. 1876–79. | | | | Tummel, the River | | The Tummel and the Duck | | Anonymous |
| | | PAST runs the sunlit Tummel, strong from his wilds above, | |
| Blue as the deepest cobalt, shot like the neck of a dove; | |
| He is fresh from the Moor of Rannoch, he has drained Loch Ericht dread, | |
| And imaged in Carle’s waters Ben y Houlach’s stately head. | |
| He has mourned by the graves of the Struans hid in the night of the wood, | 5 |
| And laughed past the pleasant slope where our old Dunalister stood. | |
| Schihallion has heard him chafing down by his sunless steep, | |
| And has watched the child of the mountains deep in his Loch asleep. | |
| He ’s awake and down by the Bonskeid, he has leapt his falls with glee, | |
| He has married the Garry below, and they linger in Faskally; | 10 |
| Then off by Moulin of Earn, and down to our Duck and me. | | | | |
