The chattèn, laughèn, shiften drong,

When wold an' young, an' high an' low,

Do streamy round, an' to an' fro;

But what new feäce that we don't know,

Can ever meäke woone's warm heart dance

Among ten thousan', lik' a glance

O' looks we know'd avore, John.

How of'en have the wind a-shook

The leaves off into yonder brook,

Since vu'st we two, in youthvul strolls,
