Samuel Laycock Poems

Tha'rt welcome, little bonny brid,
But shouldn't ha' come just when tha did;
Toimes are bad.
We're short o' pobbies for eawr Joe
...

'Aw 'VE just bin a havin' a peep at th' farm-heawse
Wheer mi gronfeyther lived at so long ;
So aw'll draw eawt a bit ov a sketch o' th' owd spot,
...

Farewell, thou gifted singer! thy sweet songs
Have charmed the ears of thousands in our land:
Now thou art gone, we feel that we have lost
...
