Wold Meldon, where I still ha' zome,

That bid me speed as I come out,

An' now ha' bid me welcome hwome,

As I did goo, while skies wer blue,

Vrom view to view, to Meldonley.

An' there wer timber'd knaps, that show'd

Cool sheädes, vor rest, on grassy ground,

An' thatch-brow'd windows, flower-bound,

Where I could wish wer my abode.

I pass'd the maïd avore the spring,
