Gently, gently, shoo's thi sister,

Tho' her clooas are nowt but rags;

On her feet ther's monny a blister:

See ha painfully shoo drags

Her tired limbs to some quiet corner:

Shoo's thi sister—dunnot scorn her.

Daan her cheeks noa tears are runnin,

Shoo's been shov'd aside befoor;

Used to scoffs, an' sneers, an'shunnin—

Shoo expects it, coss shoo's poor;
