By keen-aïr'd Winter's vrost wer bound,

An' star-bright snow did streak the forms

O' beäre-lim'd trees in darksome storms,

Sweet Linda Deäne did lightly glide,

Wi' snow-white robe an' rwosy feäce,

Upon the smooth-vloor'd hall, to treäce

The merry dance o' Chris'mas tide;

But oh! not mine be balls so fine

As Linda Deäne's at Ellendon.

Sweet Linda Deäne do match the skies
