"Dost think 'at aw can e'er forget,

Wheariver aw may rooam,

That bonny face an' lovin heart,

Awve prized soa dear at hoam?

Nay lass, nooan soa, be sure o' this,

'At till next time we meet

Tha'll be mi first thowt ivery morn,

An' last thowt ivery neet."

He went a way an' years flew by,

But tidins seldom came;
