The rick upon the grassy ground.

An', as the aïer vrom the west

Did fan my burnèn feäce an' breast,

An' hoppèn birds, wi' twitt'rèn beaks,

Did show their sheenèn spots an' streaks,

Then, wi' my heart a-vill'd wi' love

An' thankvulness to God above,

I didden think ov anything

That I begrudg'd o' lord or king;

Vor I ha' round me, vur or near,
