O wild-reävèn winds I do wish I could vlee

Wi' you, lik' a bird o' the clouds, up above

The ridge o' the hill an' the top o' the tree,

To where I do long vor, an' vo'k I do love.

Or else that in under theäse rock I could hear,

In the soft-zwellèn sounds you do leäve in your road,

Zome words you mid bring me, vrom tongues that be dear,

Vrom friends that do love me, all scatter'd abrode.

O wild-reävèn winds! if you ever do roar

By the house an' the elems vrom where I'm a-come,
