GREEN mwold on zummer bars do show mould
That they've a-dripp'd in Winter wet;

The tree, do tell o’ storms or het; heat
The trees in rank along a ledge
Do show where woonce did bloom a hedge; once
An’ where the vurrow-marks do stripe
The down, the wheat woonce rustled ripe.
Each mark ov things a-gone vrom view—

An’ where the house, bwoth wall an’ vloor,

What tokens, then, could Meäry gi'e give

But things a-done vor thought an’ view?
Good things that nwone ageän can do,
An’ every work her love ha’ wrought,
To eyezight's woone, but two to thought.
