Proud Maisie is in the wood,

 Walking so early ;

驕傲的梅西漫步林間， 

踩著晨曦；

Sweet Robin sits on the bush,

 Singing so rarely.

伶俐的知更鳥棲息樹叢，

 唱得甜蜜。

'Tell me, thou bonny bird, 

when shall I marry me?'

“告訴我，美麗的鳥兒， 

我哪年哪月穿嫁衣？”

'When six braw gentlemen

 Kirkward shall carry ye.'

“等到六個(gè)殯葬人 

抬你上教堂。”

'Who makes the bridal bed, 

Birdie, say truly?'

“誰(shuí)為我鋪新床？

 好鳥兒，莫撒謊。

'The gray-headed sexton

 That delves the grave duly. '

“白發(fā)司事，

兼挖墓穴， 

誤不了你的洞房?！?/span>

'The glowworm o'er

 grave and stone

 Shall light thee steady;

”螢火蟲幽幽閃閃，

 把你的墳?zāi)拐樟粒?/span>

The owl from the steeple sing, 

Welcome, 

proud lady.'

貓頭鷹將在塔尖高唱： 

歡迎你，

驕傲的姑娘。”
