JEÄNE.

We now mid hope vor better cheer,

My smilèn wife o' twice vive year.

Let others frown, if thou bist near

Wi' hope upon thy brow, Jeäne;

Vor I vu'st lov'd thee when thy light

Young sheäpe vu'st grew to woman's height;

I loved thee near, an' out o' zight,

An' I do love thee now, Jeäne.

An' we've a-trod the sheenèn bleäde
