I've buried my heart in a ferny hill,
Twix' a liddle low shaw an' a great high gill.

I reckon you'll keep her middling true!

I've loosed my mind for to out and run
On a Marsh that was old when Kings begun.

And sheep-bells tinkled where you pass.

...The white moth to the closing bine,
 The bee to the opened clover,
And the gipsy blood to the gipsy blood
 Ever the wide world over.

Ever the wide world over, lass,
 Ever the trail held true,
Over the world and under the world,

Out of the dark of the gorgio camp,
 Out of the grime and the gray
