THE YEAR-CLOCK.

We zot bezide the leäfy wall,

Upon the bench at evenfall,

While aunt led off our minds vrom ceäre

Wi' veäiry teäles, I can't tell where:

An' vound us woone among her stock

O' feäbles, o' the girt Year-clock.

His feäce wer blue's the zummer skies,

An' wide's the zight o' lookèn eyes,
