Walter Scott - Proud Maisie 汉译

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 glowworm o’er grave and stone

Shall light thee steady,

The owl from the steeple sing,

‘welcome, proud lady.’”
