On hedge-row blossom, snowy white,

Though nothèn yet did come in zight,

A-stirrèn on the straÿèn stream;

Till, out by sheädy rocks there show'd,

A bwoat along his foamy road,

Wi' thik feäir maïd at mill, a-row'd

Wi' Jeäne behind her brother's oars.

An' steätely as a queen o' vo'k,

She zot wi' floatèn scarlet cloak,

An' comèn on, at ev'ry stroke,
