Goa hooam tha little drabbled bratA
Tha'll get thi deeath o' coldB
Whear does ta live Just tell me thatA
Befooar aw start to scoldB
-
Thart sypin weet dooant come near meC
Tha luks hawf pined to deeathD
An what a cough tha has dear meC
It ommost taks thi breeathD
-
Them een's too big for thy wee faceE
Thi curls are sad neglectedF
Poor child thine seems a woeful caseE
Noa wonder tha'rt dejectedG
-
Nah can't ta tell me who tha artH
Tha needn't think aw'll harm thiD
Here tak this sixpence for a startH
An find some place to warm thiD
-
Tha connot spaik thi een poor thingI
Are filled wi' tears alreadyD
Tha connot even start to singI
Thi voice is soa unsteadyD
-
It isn't long tha'll ha to rooamC
An sing thi simple dittyD
Tha doesn't seem to be at hooamC
I' this big bustlin cityD
-
It's hard to tell what's best to beD
When seets are soa distressinJ
For to sich helpless bairns as theeD
Deeath seems to be a blessinJ
-
Some hear thi voice an pass thi byK
An feel noa touch o' sorrowL
An maybe them at heave a sighK
Laff it away to morrowL
-
For tha may sing or sigh or cryK
Nay tha may dee if needs beD
An th' busy craads 'at hurries byK
Streeams on an nivver heeds theeD
-
But ther is One hears ivvery grooanJ
We needn't to remind HimC
An He'll net leeav thi all alooanJ
God give thee grace to find HimC
-
An may be send His angels daanJ
Thi feet throo dangers guidinJ
Until He sets thee in His craanJ
A gem in light abidinJ
