An' left your smilen feaece so dim;
Your little sister there, inside,
Wi' bellows on her little knee,
Did blow the vier, a-glearen wide
Drough window-peaenes, that I could zee,--
As you did stan' wi' me, avore
The house, a-peaerten,--woone smile mwore.

The chatt'ren birds, a-risen high,
An' zinken low, did swiftly vlee
Vrom shrinken moss, a-growen dry,
Upon the leaenen apple tree.
An' there the dog, a-whippen wide
His heaeiry tail, an' comen near,
Did fondly lay ageaen your zide
His coal-black nose an' russet ear:
To win what I'd a-won avore,
Vrom your gay feaece, his woone smile mwore.

An' while your mother bustled sprack,
A-getten supper out in hall,
An' cast her sheaede, a-whiv'ren black
Avore the vier, upon the wall;
Your brother come, wi' easy peaece,
In drough the slammen geaete, along
The path, wi' healthy-bloomen feaece,
A-whis'len shrill his last new zong;
An' when he come avore the door,
He met vrom you his woone smile mwore.

Now you that wer the daughter there,
Be mother on a husband's vloor,
An' mid ye meet wi' less o' ceaere
Than what your hearty mother bore;
An' if abroad I have to rue
The bitter tongue, or wrongvul deed,
Mid I come hwome to sheaere wi' you
What's needvul free o' pinchen need:
An' vind that you ha' still in store,
My evenen meal, an' woone smile mwore.

THE ECHO.

About the tow'r an' churchyard wall,
Out nearly overright our door,
A tongue ov wind did always call
Whatever we did call avore.
The vaice did mock our neaemes, our cheers,
Our merry laughs, our hands' loud claps,
An' mother's call "Come, come, my dears"
--_my dears_;
Or "Do as I do bid, bad chaps"
--_bad chaps_.

An' when o' Zundays on the green,
In frocks an' cwoats as gay as new,
We walk'd wi' shoes a-meaede to sheen
So black an' bright's a vull-ripe slooe
We then did hear the tongue ov air
A-mocken mother's vaice so thin,
"Come, now the bell do goo vor pray'r"
--_vor pray'r_;
"'Tis time to goo to church; come in"
--_come in_.

The night when little Anne, that died,
Begun to zicken, back in May,
An' she, at dusk ov evenen-tide,
Wer out wi' others at their play,
Within the churchyard that do keep
