MOONLIGHT ON THE DOOR.

A-swaÿèn slow, the poplar's head,

Above the slopèn thatch did ply,

The while the midnight moon did shed

His light below the spangled sky.

An' there the road did reach avore

The hatch, all vootless down the hill;

An' hands, a-tired by day, wer still,

Wi' moonlight on the door.

A-boomèn deep, did slowly sound
