The girls in their short school dresses
and long open legs; a dozen Sheelagh-nan-Gigs
in tights. A haze of midges
gathers bardically in Botanic station,
a pigeon drops to the platform like dew,
a tourist’s eye looks for trouble.

Na nigheanan nan sgiortan-sgoile goirid
’s casan casa fosgailte; dusan Sheelagh-nan-Gig
nan tiodhts. Ceò mheanbh-cuileagan
mar stùr bàrdail ann an steisean Botanic,
pitheid a’cromadh mar deò
’s sùilean beaga luchd-turais ag amharc ainneart.
