Sir Walter Scott

Proud Masie

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!’
