How bright do roll the weävy brook:

When there, a-passèn on my right,

A-waikèn slow, an' treadèn light,

Young Jessie Lee come by, an' there

Took all my ceäre, an' all my zight.

Vor lovely wer the looks her feäce

Held up avore the western sky:

An' comely wer the steps her peäce

Did meäke a-walkèn slowly by:

But I went east, wi' beätèn breast,
