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
Kirk ward shall carry ye." "who makes the bridal bed, birdie, say truly?" "The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly." "The glowworm o'er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady."

骄傲的梅西漫步林间，
踩着晨曦；
伶俐的知更鸟栖息树丛，
唱得甜蜜。
“告诉我，美丽的鸟儿，
我哪年哪月穿嫁装？”
“等到六个殡葬人，
抬你上教堂。” “谁为我铺新床？
好鸟儿，莫撒谎。” “白发司事，兼挖墓穴，
误不了你的洞房。” “萤火虫幽幽闪闪，
把你的坟墓照亮，送葬，
猫头鹰将在塔尖高唱：
欢迎你，骄傲的姑娘。” |
