Where his mornèn rim o' vier

Soon ageän shall meet his eyes.

Leaves be now a-scatter'd round

In the wind, a-blowèn bleaker,

An' if we do walk the ground

Wi' our life-strangth woone year weaker.

Woone year weaker, woone year nigher

To the pleäce where we shall vind

Woone that's deathless vor the dier,

Voremost they that dropp'd behind.
