(by Old Blowick)

Fer R Lydier, Elaine, 'n' t'utha lasses 'oo ast fer wun uv me pawms . . .

Theer be thawse 'oo tawk baht coeawslips,
'N' daffadoeauwndillies bah 'eck;
Uv dehnty bluebells
In dingles 'n' dells,
'N' snawy 'awthurn roeaund t'rec.
Them's awl sihns o' Spring Ah'll alloeauw thi,
And bring back fond memris t' us;
Bu' cum evry Spring,
'Oo's prehse do Ah sing?
Wieh, t'lass un t'noomba six bus!

Ah knaw tha'll be thinkin' uv dehsies
Un yon sward (warrevva that be!),
Uv yon ferny fronds
Aroeaund t'owd dook ponds.
Burrah tellee theh do nowt fer me.
Ah knaws them's awl pratty 'n' springlihke 'n' awl,
'N' Ah'm noreer t' kick oop a fuss,
Bu' theer's nowt in t'dingle 
con mek me awl tingle
Lihke t'lass un t'noomba six bus!

Ah s'pawse that t'mayfleaws be bloomin'
'N' 'appun them's t'reet gradely shaw;
Fergemmenots too,
Lihke an awshun o' blue,
Be reet theer oeautsihde t'frunt daw.
'N' 'appun tha thinks un 'em awl evry yur,
'N' memris'll flud back -- theh mus' --
Bu' nowt con cumpur
Wi' yon flaxun 'ur
Uv t'lass un t'noomba six bus.

'Oo weer this lass, do Ah 'ear summun ask?
Well, Ah tellee, Ah doan't knaw 'er nehme!
Tha'll think that reet fonny
If 'er weer awl that bonny,
Bu' lissen -- it be true awl t'sehme!
Ah saw 'er joos wunce un t'owd upper deck.
'N' nevva aggen! 'N' joos 'twixt us --
Since then, cum t'Spring, 
Ah ferget evrything
Bu' t'lass un t'noomba six bus!
