Ha' seem'd a-took avore their time—

The young that died in beauty.

But when woone's lim's ha' lost their strangth

A-tweilèn drough a lifetime's langth,

An' over cheäks a-growèn wold

The slowly-weästen years ha' rolled,

The deep'nèn wrinkle's hollow vwold;

When life is ripe, then death do call

Vor less ov thought, than when do vall

On young vo'ks in their beauty.
