Summary
AT Woodcombe farm, wi’ ground an’ tree
Hallow'd by times o’ youthvul glee,
At Chris'mas time I spent a night
Wi’ feäces dearest to my zight;
An’ took my wife to tread, woonce mwore, once
Her maïden hwome's vorseäken vloor,
An’ under stars that slowly wheel'd
Aloft, above the keen-aïr'd vield,
While night bedimm'd the rus'lèn copse,
An’ darken'd all the ridges’ tops,
The hall, a-hung wi’ holly, rung
Wi’ many a tongue o’ wold an’ young. old
There, on the he'th's well-hetted ground, hearth's, heated
Hallow'd by times o’ zittèn round,
The brimvul mug o’ cider stood
An’ hiss'd avore the bleäzèn wood;
An’ zome, a-zittèn knee by knee,
Did tell their teäles wi’ hearty glee,
An’ others gamboll'd in a roar
O’ laughter on the stwonèn vloor; stone
An’ while the moss o’ winter-tide
Clung chilly roun’ the house's zide,
The hall, a-hung wi’ holly, rung
Wi’ many a tongue o’ wold an’ young.
There, on the pworches bench o’ stwone,
Hallow'd by times o’ youthvul fun,
We laugh'd an’ sigh'd to think o’ neämes
That rung there woonce, in evenèn geämes; once
An’ while the swaÿèn cypress bow'd,
In chilly wind, his darksome sh'oud canopy
An’ honeyzuckles, beäre o’ leaves, bare
Still reach'd the window-sheädèn eaves
Up where the clematis did trim
The stwonèn arches mossy rim,
The hall, a-hung wi’ holly, rung
Wi’ many a tongue o’ wold an’ young.
There, in the geärden's wall-bound square,
Hallow'd by times o’ strollèn there,
The winter wind, a-hufflèn loud, gusting
Did swaÿ the pear-tree's leafless sh'oud, canopy
An’ beät the bush that woonce did bear once
The damask rwose vor Jenny's heäir;
An’ there the walk o’ peävèn stwone
That burn'd below the zummer zun,
Struck icy-cwold drough shoes a-wore through
By maïdens vrom the hetted vloor heated
In hall, a-hung wi’ holm, where rung holly
Vull many a tongue o’ wold an’ young.
