A-bloomèn to the moon.

Think how she left her childhood's pleäce,

An' only sister's long-known feäce,

An' brother's jokes so much a-miss'd,

An' mother's cheäk, the last a-kiss'd;

An' how she lighted down avore

Her new abode, a husband's door,

Your weddèn night in June;

Wi' heart that beät wi' hope an' fear,

While on each eye-lash hung a tear,
