Wi' woone a-comèn up, vor woone a-gone;

An' feäir they floated in their sky-back'd flight,

But still they never meäde a sound to me.

An' there the miller, down the stream did float

Wi' all his childern, in his white-saïl'd bwoat,

Vur off, beyond the stragglèn cows in meäd,

But zent noo vaïce, athirt the ground, to me.

An' then a buttervlee, in zultry light,

A-wheelèn on about me, vier-bright,

Did show the gaÿest colors to my eye,
