We little thowt ha varry sooin

Awr pet wod have to dee.

Aw used to watch her ivery day,

Just like a oppenin bud;

An' if aw couldn't see her change,

Aw fancied' at aw could.

Throo morn to neet her little tongue

Wor allus on a stir;

Awve heeard a deeal o' childer lisp,

But nooan at lispt like her.
