MEAPLE LEAVES BE YOLLOW.

Come, let's stroll down so vur's the poun',

Avore the sparklèn zun is down:

The zummer's gone, an' days so feäir

As theäse be now a-gettèn reäre.

The night, wi' mwore than daylight's sheäre

O' wat'ry sky, do wet wi' dew

The ee-grass up above woone's shoe,

An' meäple leaves be yollow.

The last hot doust, above the road,

An' vu'st dead leaves ha' been a-blow'd

By plaÿsome win's where spring did spread

The blossoms that the zummer shed;

An' near blue sloos an' conkers red

The evenèn zun, a zettèn soon,

Do leäve a-quiv'rèn to the moon,

The meäple leaves so yollow.

Zoo come along, an' let's injaÿ

The last fine weather while do staÿ;

While thou canst hang, wi' ribbons slack,

Thy bonnet down upon thy back,

Avore the winter, cwold an' black,

Do kill thy flowers, an' avore

Thy bird-cage is a-took in door,

Though meäple leaves be yollow.
