An' liked by all the naïghbours round.

An' while along the leafless boughs

O' ruslèn hedges, win's did pass,

An' orts ov haÿ, a-left by cows,

Did russle on the vrozen grass,

An' maïdens' païls, wi' all their work

A-done, did hang upon their vurk,

An' they, avore the fleämèn brand,

Did teäke their needle-work in hand,

The men did cheer their heart an hour
