Beautiful
Railway
Bridge
of
the
Silvery
Tay!
With
your
numerous
arches
and
pillars
in
so
grand
array,
And
your
central
girders,
which
seem
to
the
eye
To
be
almost
towering
to
the
sky.
The
greatest
wonder
of
the
day,
And
a great
beautification
to
the
River
Tay,
Most
beautiful
to
be
seen,
Near
by
Dundee
and
the
Magdalen
Green.

That
has
caused
the
Emperor
of
Brazil
to
leave
His
home
far
away,
incognito
in
his
dress,
And
view
thee
ere
he
passed
along
en
route
to
Inverness
Beautiful
Railway
Bridge
of
the
Silvery

The
longest
of
the
present
day
That
has
ever
crossed
o'er
a tidal
river
stream,
Most
gigantic
to
be
seen,
Near
by
Dundee
and
the
Magdalen
Green.

Which
will
cause
great
rejoicing
on
the
opening
day,
And
hundreds
of
people
will
come
from
far
away,
Also
the
Queen,
most
gorgeous
to
be
seen,
Near
by
Dundee
and
the
Magdalen
Green.

And
prosperity
to

who
has
given
Thirty

pounds
and
upwards
away
In
helping
to
erect
the

of

Tay,
Most
handsome
to
be

I hope
that
God
will
protect
all
passengers
By
night
and
by
day,
And
that
no
accident
will
befall
them
while
crossing
The
Bridge
of
the
Silvery
Tay,
For
that
would
be
most
awful
to
be
seen
Near
by
Dundee
and
the
Magdalen
Green.
Beautiful

And
prosperity

of
the
present
day,
Who
have
succeeded
in
erecting
the
Railway
Bridge
of
the
Silvery
Tay,
Which
stands
unequalled
to
be
seen
Near
by
Dundee
and
the
Magdalen
Green.
