Var 'tis a-vroze so hard's a rock.

Ther bent noo stranngers that 'ull come,

But only a vew naighbours: zome

Vrom Stowe, an' Combe, an' two ar dree

Vrom uncles up at Rookery.

An' thee woot vine a ruozy fiace,

An' pair ov eyes so black as sloos,

The pirtiest oones in al the pliace.

I'm sure I needen tell thee whose.

We got a back bran', dree girt logs
