So soft an' meek, to souls alwone;

The brook a-gurglèn round a stwone,

An' birds o' day a-zingèn clear,

An' leaves, that I mid zit an' hear

A-rustlèn near, when birds be still.

RIDEN HWOME AT NIGHT.

Oh! no, I quite injaÿ'd the ride

Behind wold Dobbin's heavy heels,

Wi' Jeäne a-prattlèn at my zide,
