When I led by zummer streams <br />The pride o' Lea, as naighbours thought her, <br />While the zun, wi' evenen beams, <br />Did cast our sheades athirt the water; <br />Winds a-blowen, <br />Streams a-flowen, <br />Skies a-glowen, <br />Tokens ov my jay zoo fleeten, <br />Heightened it, that happy meeten. <br /> <br />Then, when maid an' man took pleaces, <br />Gay in winter's Chris'mas dances, <br />Showen in their merry feaces <br />Kindly smiles an' glisnen glances; <br />Stars a-winken, <br />Day a-shrinken, <br />Sheades a-zinken, <br />Brought anew the happy meeten, <br />That did meake the night too fleeten.<br /><br />William Barnes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zummer-an-winter/
