Original text and translations
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.
