The Pride Of Youth 青春的骄傲

Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin¹ sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
"tell me, thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?"

"when six braw gentlemen
Kirk ward² shall carry ye."

"who makes the bridal bed, birdie, say truly?"

"The gray-headed sexton
That delves³ the grave duly."

"The glowworm o'er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl⁴ from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady."
