OWD ROÄ
37
But I browt ’im down, an’ we got to the barn, fur the barn wouldn’t burnWi’ the wind blawin’ hard tother waäy, an’ the wind wasn’t like to turn.
An’ I kep a-callin’ o’ Roä till ’e waggled ’is taäil fur a bit,But the cocks kep a-crawin’ an’ crawin’ all night, an’ I ’ears ’em yit;
An’ the dogs was a-yowlin’ all round, and thou was a-squeälin’ thysen,An’ Moother was naggin’ an’ groänin’ an moänin’ an’ naggin’ ageän;
An’ I ’eärd the bricks an’ the baulks27 rummle down when the roof gev waäy,Fur the fire was a-raägin’ an’ raävin’ an’ roärin’ like judgment daäy.
