Summary
WELL, aye, last evenèn, as I shook
My locks ov haÿ by Leecombe brook,
The yollow zun did weakly glance
Upon the winter meäd askance,
A-castèn out my narrow sheäde shadow
Athirt the brook, an’ on the meäd. across
The while ageän my lwonesome ears
Did russle weatherbeäten spears,
Below the withy's leafless head willow's
That overhung the river's bed;
I there did think o’ days that dried
The new-mow'd grass o’ zummer-tide,
When white-sleev'd mowers’ whetted bleädes
Rung sh'ill along the green-bough'd gleädes, clearly
An’ maïdens gaÿ, wi’ plaÿsome chaps,
A-zot wi’ dinners in their laps, siting down
Did talk wi’ merry words that rung
Around the ring, vrom tongue to tongue;
An’ welcome, when the leaves ha’ died,
Be zummer thoughts in winter-tide.
