The brook that still do dreve our mills,

The roads a-climèn up the brows

O' knaps, a-screen'd by meäple boughs,

Wer all a-mark'd in sheäde an' light

Avore our wolder fathers' zight,

In zunny days, a-gied their hands

For happy work, a-tillèn lands,

That now do yield their childern bread

Till they do rest wi' wold vo'k dead.

But livèn vo'k, a-grievèn on,
