O it fell once upon a day ‘O waken, waken, Burd Isbel, An imp or gnome or pixie dressed in red stands on a chair at the foot of the lady’s four-poster full-tester bed. His bare feet have long bird-like talons. The lady is in her night-clothes, sitting up and staring at him. He is telling her to go to the wedding of her lover, young Bekie, so that he will marry her. |
