Greetings from Scotland!

Babelfish translates it... sort of... :

After the fire I regard the fire place. Ash country fills the view up to the edge. Black smoke ring ELT on and in the leavingness beseh I the motion, this moving of dying... Only a smoke. Nothing as smoke. It flees also.
Think I prefer the original

Lets translate it this way,

After the flames
I look upon this place.
Ashes,
nothing but ashes,
choke the plains.

Black smoke
now curls, rises,
while forsaken,
I watch adrift
as the dead shift
and drift
slowly
away.

Just smoke.
Nothing but smoke.
It forsakes me too.

Yes... and...? How does that relate to Scotland...?

Yes... and...? How does that relate to Scotland...?

I expect that is part of the extensive culture that exists "North of the Border"
