The weather's warm, the winter blast,

Wi' all his traïn o' clouds, is past;

The zun do rise while vo'k do sleep,

To teäke a higher daily zweep,

Wi' cloudless feäce a-flingèn down

His sparklèn light upon the groun'.

The air's a-streamèn soft,—come drow

The windor open; let it blow

In drough the house, where vire, an' door

A-shut, kept out the cwold avore.
