Between my withy-sheäded shores.

The broken stream did idly try

To show her sheäpe a-ridèn by,

The rushes brown-bloom'd stems did ply,

As if they bow'd to her by will.

The rings o' water, wi' a sock,

Did break upon the mossy rock,

An' gi'e my beätèn heart a shock,

Above my float's up-leapèn quill.

Then, lik' a cloud below the skies,
