from Second-Collection Poems with phonemic transcripts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2018
AN’ while I went 'ithin a traïn,
A-ridèn on athirt the plaïn, across
A-cleärèn swifter than a hound,
On twin-laid raïls, the zwimmèn ground;
I cast my eyes 'ithin a park,
Upon a woak wi’ grey-white bark, oak
An’ while I kept his head my mark, its
The rest did wheel around en. it
An’ when in life our love do cling
The clwosest round zome single thing,
We then do vind that all the rest
Do wheel roun’ that, vor vu'st an best; first
Zoo while our life do last, mid nought so, may
But what is good an’ feäir be sought,
In word or deed, or heart or thought,
An’ all the rest wheel round it.
