The mune wis fu the nicht I saw her, lang limbed an amber eened, starin in a dwam at the siller orb. Syne she was awa, fleein up the brae. I rin aifter her, but fund anely a maukin, cooried doon in the lang girse o the lea rig.

Rebecca Saunders
Air casan fada clis, tha lùth-chleasaiche bianach a’ dèanamh geàrr-leum tron fheur fhada, a’ griobadh an siud ’s an seo. Sùilean geur, sròn fhàileanta, tha i a’ biorachadh a cluasan fada, a’ cumail cluas ri claisneachd. Am plathadh de dh’earball geal, ag innse nach fhaic thu ach gu geàrr mi!
