Vrom the hedge where the win' russled drough,

There a light-russlèn snow-doust did vall;

An' noo pleäce wer a-vound that wer lew,

But the shed, or the ivy-hung wall.

Then I knock'd at the wold passage door

Wi' the win'-driven snow on my locks;

Till, a-comèn along the cwold vloor,

There my Jenny soon answer'd my knocks.

Then the wind, by the door a-swung wide,

Flung some snow in her clear-bloomèn feäce,
