W:2. Fearfu' soughs the boortree bank, the rifted wood roars wild and dreary.
W: Loud the iron yett does clank, the cry of hoolits mak's me eerie.
W:     Oh, are ye sleeping Maggie ...
W:
W:3. Abune ma breath, I daurnae speak, for fear I rouse your waukrife Daddy.
W: Cauld's the blast upon my cheek, o, rise, o, rise, my bonnie lady.
W:     Oh, are ye sleeping Maggie ...

W:4. She's ope'd the door, she's let him in, she's cuist aside his dreepin' plaidie.
W: Blaw yer warst ye rain and wind, for Maggie noo I'm in aside ye.
W:     Noo since your waukin' Maggie, noo since your waukin' Maggie,
W:     what care I for hoolits cry, for boortree bank or warlock Craigie.
