An' meäke the plyèn tree-tops rock,

But never ruffle her white frock;

An' slammèn door an' rattlèn lock,

That in thik empty house do sound,

Do never seem to meäke look round

Thik ever downcast leädy.

A leädy, as the teäle do goo,

That woonce liv'd there, an' lov'd too true,

Wer by a young man cast azide.

A mother sad, but not a bride;
