Among the dock-leaves years agoo.

THE BLACKBIRD.

Ov all the birds upon the wing

Between the zunny show'rs o' spring,—

Vor all the lark, a-swingèn high,

Mid zing below a cloudless sky.

An' sparrows, clust'rèn roun' the bough,

Mid chatter to the men at plough,—

The blackbird, whisslèn in among
