THE WELSHNUT TREE.

When in the evenèn the zun's a-zinkèn,

A drowèn sheädes vrom the yollow west,

An' mother, weary, 's a-zot a thinkèn,

Wi' vwolded eärms by the vire at rest,

Then we do zwarm, O,

Wi' such a charm, O,

So vull o' glee by the welshnut tree.

A-leävèn father in-doors, a-leinèn'

In his girt chair in his easy shoes,
