Maxwelton's braes are bonnie,明治17年発行の「小学唱歌集(三)」では、「才女」という題で、紫式部を歌った詞で紹介されています。
Where early fa's the dew,
And it's there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true.
Gave me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.Her brow is like the snawdrift,
Her throat is like the swan,
Her face it is the fairest,
That 'er the sun shone on.
That 'er the sun shone on.
And dark blue is her e'e,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.Like dew on the gowan lying,
Is the fa' o' her fairy feet,
And like winds in summer sighing,
Her voice is low and sweet.
Her voice is low and sweet,
And she's a' the world to me,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.
「才女」 (作詞者不詳/P.D.)かきながせる 筆のあやに
そめしむらさき 世々あせず
ゆかりのいろ ことばのはな
たぐいもあらじ そのいさおまきあげたる 小簾のひまに
君のこころも しら雪や
蘆山の峯 遺愛のかね
めにみるごとき その風情
