Let me work, but mid noo tie
Hold me vrom the oben sky,
When zummer winds, in playsome flight,
Do blow on vields in noon-day light,
Or ruslen trees, in twilight night.
Sweet's a stroll,
By flow'ry knowl, or blue-feaeced pool
That zummer win's do ruffle cool.
When the moon's broad light do vill
Plains, a-sheenen down the hill;
A-glitteren on window glass,
O then, while zummer win's do pass
The rippled brook, an' swayen grass,
Sweet's a walk,
Where we do talk, wi' feaeces bright,
In whispers in the peacevul night.
When the swayen men do mow
Flow'ry grass, wi' zweepen blow,
In het a-most enough to dry
The flat-spread clote-leaf that do lie
Upon the stream a-stealen by,
Sweet's their rest,
Upon the breast o' knap or mound
Out where the goocoo's vaice do sound.
Where the sleek-heaeir'd maid do zit
Out o' door to zew or knit,
Below the elem where the spring
'S a-runnen, an' the road do bring
The people by to hear her zing,
On the green,
Where she's a-zeen, an' she can zee,
O gay is she below the tree.
Come, O zummer wind, an' bring
Sounds o' birds as they do zing,
An' bring the smell o' bloomen may,
An' bring the smell o' new-mow'd hay;
Come fan my feaece as I do stray,
Fan the heaeir
O' Jessie feaeir; fan her cool,
By the weaeves o' stream or pool.
