An' village greens, a-beät half beäre

By dancers that do meet, an' weär

Such merry looks at feäst an' feäir,

Do gather under leàtest skies,

Their bloomèn cheäks an' sparklèn eyes,

Though young ha' died in beauty.

But still the dead shall mwore than keep

The beauty ov their eärly sleep;

Where comely looks shall never weär

Uncomely, under tweil an' ceäre.
