Nowt o'the soart
(::MARY::)
Nowt o'the soart

She'd fair be watchin' for the spring
(::MARY::)
I'll not be climbin' up
I'll only be callin' good morning
And fair low I'll sing
(::DICKON::)
Well done, Mary
(::MARY::)
I'll only walk around as like to see it for myself
If tha' canst 'low me visit
I'll speak low e'en to thysel'
Tha'll not be bothered night and day
By wenches racin' 'round,
I'll but seem a silent dream
Standin' on the secret ground
I'd but smell the growin' things
Count the roses 'gainst the wall
Hear thy babes when first they peck
Stretch my hand if they should fall
Or if tha' likes I'll bring thee seeds
Or worms all in a mound
For if tha'll have me for a friend
Tha'll be the first I've found
I'm a lass
(::DICKON::)
A trusty lass
(::MARY::)
That took a graidly fancy to thee
Canna tha' show me
(::DICKON::)
Fair well tha' dost know her
(::MARY::)
Show me tha' key
(::MARY AND DICKON::)
Show me (--her--) the key
(::DICKON::)
Amd you'll be here to see it
Stand and feel it all the day
Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it
Spring, I say
