She oped the door ; she let him in ;
He cuist aside his dreepin' plaidie ;
Blaw your warst, ye wind and rain,
Since, Maggie, now I'm in beside ye !
Now, since ye're waukin', Maggie,

There the busy prying eye
Ne'er disturbs the lover's joy,
While in other's arms they lie, down by yon burn-side.

Those fairy scenes are no for you, by yon burn-side :
