Wi' bright-ey'd me'th below the tree.

Aye, pride mid seek the crowded pleäce

To show his head an' frownèn feäce,

An' pleasure vlee, wi' goold in hand,

Vor zights to zee vrom land to land,

Where winds do blow on seas o' blue:—

Noo wealth wer mine to travel wide

Vor jaÿ, wi' Pleasure or wi' Pride:

My happiness wer here above

The feäst, wi' me'th below the tree.
