An' zit bezide my vier at rest,

While night's a-spread, where day's a-vled,

An' lights do shed their beams o' red,

A-sparklèn drough the window.

If winter's whistlèn winds do vreeze

The snow a-gather'd on the trees,

An' sheädes o' poplar stems do vall

In moonlight up athirt the wall;

An' icicles do hang below

The oves, a-glitt'rèn in a row,
