An' off the barken raïl's a-vallèn,

Day by day, the rottèn bark.—

But short's the time our works do stand,

So feäir's we put em out ov hand,

Vor time a-passèn, wet an' dry,

Do spweïl em wi' his changèn sky,

The while wi' strivèn hope, we men,

Though a-ruèn time's undoèn,

Still do tweil an' tweil ageän.

In wall-zide sheädes, by leafy bowers,
