English text

Proud Maisie is in the wood,

Walking so early,

Sweet Robin sits on the bush,

Singing so rarely.

"Tell me, thou bonny bird,

When shall I marry me?"

"When six braw gentlemen

Kirkward shall carry ye."

"Who makes the bridal bed,

Birdie, say truly?"

"The grey-headed sexton

That delves the grave duly.

The glow-worm o'er grave and stone

Shall light thee steady";

The owl from the steeple sing,

"Welcome, proud lady."

Lyrics: Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), The Heart of Midlothian.
