Today is national poetry day. This is my favourite Scottish poem (in translation from the Gaelic): Muireadhach Albanach, Elegy on Mael Mhedha, his wife There was a soft-gazed women Lay on one side of my bed; None like her but the hazel’s flower, That dark shadow, womanly, sweet. Mael Mhedha of the dark brows, My cask of mead at my side; My heart, the shadow split from me, Flower’s crown, planted now Bowed down. My bodies gone from my grip And has fallen to her share; My bodies splintered in two, Since she’s gone, soft, fine and fair.
