Their happiness, wi' such a zight

O' maïdens, mornèn, noon, an' night,

A-gwaïn down steps vor water.

ELLEN BRINE OV ALLENBURN.

Noo soul did hear her lips complaïn,

An' she's a-gone vrom all her païn,

An' others' loss to her is gaïn

For she do live in heaven's love;

Vull many a longsome day an' week
