My maid Mary she minds the dairy,

While I go a-hoeing and a-mowing each morn;

Gaily run the reel and the little spinning-wheel,

Whilst I am singing and mowing my corn.


The Wind and the Fisherman

When the wind is in the East,

’Tis neither good for man or beast;

When the wind is in the North,

The skilful fisher goes not forth;
