An' meäke o' the deäisys' white flowers

A bed in the Spring.

O whissle gaÿ birds, up bezide her,

In drong-waÿ, an' woodlands,

O zing, swingèn lark, now the clouds,

Be a-vled in the Spring.

An' who, you mid ax, be my praïses

A-meäkèn so much o',

An' oh! 'tis the maïd I'm a-hopèn

To wed in the Spring.
