Where the western zun, unclouded,
Up above the grey hill-tops,
Did sheen drough ashes, lofty shouded,
On the turf beside the copse,
In zummer weather,
We together,
Sorrow-slightèn, work-vorgettèn,
Gambold wi the zun a-zettèn.
There, by flowry bows o bramble,
Under hedge, in ash-tree sheädes,
The dun-heäird hose did slowly ramble
On the grasses dewy bleädes,
Zet free o lwoads,
An stwony rwoads,
Vorgetvul o the lashes frettèn,
Grazèn wi the zun a-zettèn.
There wer rooks a-beätèn by us
Drough the aïr, in a vlock,
An there the lively blackbird, nigh us,
On the meäple bough did rock,
Wi ringèn droat,
Where zunlight smote
The yollow boughs o zunny hedges
Over western hills blue edges.
Waters, drough the meäds a-purlèn,
Glissend in the evenèns light,
An smoke, above the town a-curlèn,
Melted slowly out o zight;
An there, in glooms
Ov unzunnd rooms,
To zome, wi idle sorrows frettèn,
Zuns did set avore their zettèn.
We were out in geämes and reäces,
Loud a-laughèn, wild in meth,
Wi windblown heäir, an zunbrowned feäces,
Leäpèn on the high-skyd eth,
Avore the lights
Wer tind o nights,
An while the gossamers light nettèn
Sparkled to the zun a-zettèn.
