O' cows asleep in glitt'rèn dew;

An' brooks that gleam'd below the light,

An' dim vield paths 'ithout a shoe.

An' gaïly talk'd bezide my ears,

A-laughèn off her needless fears:

Or had the childern uppermost

In mind, instead o' thief or ghost.

An' when our house, wi' open door,

Did rumble hollow round our heads,

She heästen'd up to tother vloor,
