Nae stockings on her feet; |

Her supple ankles white as snow |

Of early blossoms sweet. |
仿佛初開的鮮花。 |
Her simple dress of sprinkled pink, |
她穿著粉紅散點的便裝, |
Her double, dimpled chin; |
兩個笑窩,雙下巴; |
Her pucker' d lip and bonny mou' , |
漂亮的小嘴,吮著嘴唇, |
With nae ane tooth between. |
嘴里還沒有一顆牙。 |
Her een sae like her mither's een, |
她的眼真像她母親的眼呵, |
Twa gentle, liquid things; |
那么柔和,水汪汪; |
Her face is like an angel's face ---- |

We're glad she has nae wings. |
幸虧她沒有翅膀。 |
