Agh shooyll ayns y dorraghey,

Yn filaghey yealley orrym,

O shimmey oie liauyr geurey,

Yn crackan jeh my j'untyn,

Nagh geayll shin rleau lheid roie,

YOUNG MAN-
" With courting in the winter,
I'd seldom be in bed,
But walking in the darkness,
Scarce seeing the road home.
" I would go to the windows,
And rap seeking entrance,
The rain pouring upon me,
And my cheeks growing pale.
Many a long winter's night,
Frequently have I passed,
Standing there at the windows,
Until I was shiv'ring.
My feet also would be wet,
And draggled o'er with mire;
But I would soon forget it,
When I saw a nice girl.
Water pouring from my hair,
And my teeth chattering,
The skin off my knuckles, with
Tapping the glass outside.
Saying: ' My love, my comfort,
Now do thou let me in,
Could I have but one hour of
Thy company to-night? ' "
YOUNG WOMAN-
" Get away from the window,
Get away I tell thee,
For I will not let you in,
I know better than that."
YOUNG MAN-
" Dost thou think thou'lt rej'ect me,
And that thou'lt put me off ?
For I have always believed
That thou would'st be my lot."
YOUNG WOMAN-
" No never, no never, young man,
Will I be thy woman,
For I'm not going to marry,
My own pleasure I will have."
YOUNG MAN-
" Then she threw her shawl o'er her,
And came down to meet me,
With kisses, oh! how loving,
This way we did meet.
Our hearts were so mellow with
Our mutual pleasure;
You never heard such before,
And you scarce will again."
