Did talk wi' merry words that rung

Around the ring, vrom tongue to tongue;

An' welcome, when the leaves ha' died,

Be zummer thoughts in winter-tide.

I'M OUT O' DOOR.

I'm out, when, in the Winter's blast,

The zun, a-runnèn lowly round,

Do mark the sheädes the hedge do cast

At noon, in hoarvrost, on the ground,
