Look'd up, an' prick'd her ears upright,

An' whicker'd out wi' all her might;

An' he, a-chucklèn, went to zee

The cows below the sheädy tree,

Wi' leafy boughs a-swaÿen.

An' last ov all, they went to know

How vast the grass in meäd did grow

An' then aunt zaid 'twer time to goo

In hwome,—a-holdèn up her shoe,

To show how wet he wer wi' dew.
