Ailsa Craig

Oh Ailsa Craig, yon bonnie lass

atop South Ayrshire’s mercury seas

from Girvan beach I raise a glass

to your steadfast, honest, timeless beauty. 


Oh Ailsa Craig, from shingled shore

your siren song wondrously alights

my gaze, forever longing, oh

to endlessly adore this silvered sight. 


Oh Ailsa Craig, my rock, my love,

my one to treasure in times of strife,

to seek when days are stormy, mauve

and damp has seeped its rot through this life.


Oh Ailsa Craig, yon bonnie lass

veiled by an ashen, dreich-drawn curtain.

I need you now, if ever I asked

or never again, to be certain.
