Wha is that at my bower-door?" 
"O wha is it but Findlay!" 
"Then gae your gate, ye'se nae be here:" 
"Indeed maun I," quo' Findlay; 
"What mak' ye, sae like a thief?" 
"O come and see," quo' Findlay; 
"Before the morn ye'll work mischief:" 
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay. 

"Gif I rise and let you in"- 
"Let me in," quo' Findlay; 
"Ye'll keep me waukin wi' your din;" 
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay; 
"In my bower if ye should stay"- 
"Let me stay," quo' Findlay; 
"I fear ye'll bide till break o' day;" 
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay. 

"Here this night if ye remain"- 
"I'll remain," quo' Findlay; 
"I dread ye'll learn the gate again;" 
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay. 
"What may pass within this bower"- 
"Let it pass," quo' Findlay; 
"Ye maun conceal till your last hour:" 
"Indeed will I," quo' Findlay.
