Proud Maisie

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 gray-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.'1.

Sung by the madwoman Madge Wildfire on her deathbed in chapter XL of The Heart of Midlothian (1818).
