AH! there's a house that I do know

Besouth o’ yonder trees,

Where northern winds can hardly blow

But in a softest breeze.

An’ there woonce sounded zongs an’ teäles once

Vrom vaïce o’ maïd or youth,

An’ sweeter than the nightèngeäle's

Above the copses lewth. shelter

How swiftly there did run the brooks,

How swift wer winds in flight,

How swiftly to their roost the rooks

Did vlee o'er head at night. fly

Though slow did seem to us the peäce pace

O’ comèn days a-head,

That now do seem as in a reäce

Wi’ aïr-birds to ha’ vled.
