That still by beech-tree sheädes do straÿ.

The light o' weäves, a-runnèn there,

Did plaÿ on leaves up over head,

An' vishes sceäly zides did gleäre,

A-dartèn on the shallow bed,

An' like the stream a-slidèn on,

My zun out-measur'd time's agone.

There by the path, in grass knee-high,

Wer buttervlees in giddy flight,

All white above the deäisies white,
