Sir Walter Scott CCXXX. The Pride of YouthP
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
When shall I marry me?”—
“When six braw gentlemen
Kirkward shall carry ye.”
Birdie, say truly?”—
“The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly.
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady.”
