That I left yollow reed, an' avore

The small green, there did swing a new hatch,

Vor to let me walk into the door.

Oh! the rook did still rock o'er the rick,

But wi' Meäry a-married awaÿ.

PICKEN O' SCROFF.

Oh! the wood wer a-vell'd in the copse,

An' the moss-bedded primrwose did blow;

An' vrom tall-stemmèd trees' leafless tops,
