My faïth, an' peäce, the gifts o' greäce,

An' freedom still to shift my pleäce.

When I've a-had a tree to screen

My meal-rest vrom the high zunn'd-sky,

Or ivy-holdèn wall between

My head an' win's a-rustlèn by,

I had noo call vor han's to bring

Their seäv'ry daïnties at my nod,

But stoop'd a-drinkèn vrom the spring,

An' took my meal, wi' thanks to God,
