from Third-Collection Poems with phonemic transcripts

COME here an’ zit a while below
Theäse tower, grey and ivy-bound, this
In sheäde, the while the zun do glow
So hot upon the flow'ry ground;
An’ winds in flight,
Do briskly smite
The blossoms bright, upon the gleäde,
But never stir the sleepèn sheäde.
As when you stood upon the brink
O’ yonder brook, wi’ back-zunn'd head,
Your zunny-grounded sheäde did zink shadow
Upon the water's grav'lly bed,
Where weäves could zweep
Away, or keep,
The gravel heap that they'd a-meäde,
But never wash awaÿ the sheäde.
An’ zoo, when you can woonce vulvil so, once fulfil
What's feäir, a-tried by heaven's light,
Why never fear that evil will
Can meäke a wrong o’ your good right.
The right wull stand,
Vor all man's hand,
Till streams on zand, an’ wind in gleädes,
Can zweep awaÿ the zuncast sheädes.
