Iz vather in a little cot
Liv'd, auver-right tha moor,
An thaw a kipt a vlock o' geese,
A war a thoughted poor.
A niver teach'd tha cris-cross-lain
Ta any of his bways,
An Jerry, mangst the rest o'm, did
Not much appruv his ways.
Vor Jerry zumtimes went ta church
Ta hire tha PAcson preach,
An thawt what pity that ta read
Izzel a cood'n teach.
Vor than, a zunday Acternoon,
Tha Bible, or good book
Would be companion vit vor'm Acll
Who choos'd therein ta look.
Bit Jerry than tha naise o' geese
Bit little moor could hire;
An dAcly goose-aggs ta pick up
Droo-out tha moor did tire.
A A?ten look'd upon tha hills
An stickle mountains roun,
An wished izzel upon their taps:
What zights a ood be bA un!
Bit what did mooA¤st iz fancy strick
War Glassenberry Torr:
A Aclways zeed it when tha zun
Gleam'd wi' tha mornin stor.
O' Well's grate church a A?ten hired,
Iz fancy war awake;
An zaw a thawt that zoon a ood
A journey ta it make.
