The loss of my wandherin’ sowl!

Och hone! wirrasthrue!

Och hone, like an owl,

Day is night, dear, to me, without you!

Och hone! don’t provoke me to do it;

For there’s girls by the score

That love me—and more;

And you’d look very quare if some morning you’d meet

My wedding all marchin’ in pride down the sthreet;

Throth, you’d open your eyes,
