Poems by William Barnes
Polls Jack-Daw
... 'Soft-polls' an' 'gawkeys,' girt an' small ...
The Motherless Child
... Sweet night cloud, wi' the glow o' my lost day, ...
The Clote (Water-Lily)
... Where thou dost float, goolden zummer clote! ...
May
... That's feäir a-yield vrom Spring till Fall, ...
The Fall
... Noo goocoo in nest-green leaves do sound&mdash ...
The Bwoat
... O' _Stour_, drough zunburnt grass, to drink ...
The Sparrow Club
... An' though the rogues mid all turn taïl, ...
The Common A-Took In
... Or when they plaÿ'd, or when they foüght, ...
Meary-Anns Child
... An' her tongue wer a-tied an' her still heart did zwell, ...
Chrismas Invitation
... We'll sheäke the house, we'll lift the ruf, ...
Two An Two
... Vor light the eyes, vor eyes the light's a-meäde ...
Seats
... Out where the gray-tree'd plaïn do spread, ...
The Winters Willow
... An' scrub her milkèn païl's white hoop, ...
Night A-Zetten In
... When all the raïn-chill'd flow'rs be dead, ...
Out At Plough
... But still, vor all the weather's feäir, ...
