The Wife A-Lost by William Barnes

Since I noo mwore do zee your face,
Up stairs or down below,
I'll zit me in the lwonesome place,
Where flat-bough'd beech do grow;
Below the beeches' bough, my love,
Where you did never come,
An' I don't look to meet ye now,
As I do look at hwome.

Since you noo mwore be at my zide,
In walks in zummer het,
I'll goo alwone where mist do ride,
Drough trees a-drippèn wet;
Below the rain-wet bough, my love,
Where you did never come,
An' I don't grieve to miss ye now,
As I do grieve at hwome.

Since now bezide my dinner-bwoard
Your vaice do never sound,
I'll eat the bit I can avword,
A-vield upon the ground;
Below the darksome bough, my love,
Where you did never dine,
An' I don't grieve to miss ye now,
As I at hwome do pine.

Since I do miss your vaice an' face
In prayer at eventide,
I'll pray wi' woone sad vaice vor grace
To goo where you do bide;
Above the tree an' bough, my love,
Where you be gone avore,
An' be a-waitèn vor me now,
To come vor evermwore.

I have read this poem once and instantly fell in love with the hidden meaning of this poem!This poem may not come with good English as of Shakespeare's but it has a great meaning as of Shakespeare's poetry s.Great love does not only happen among the high ranks but it happens to everyone and of any placements!Like one of Mel's students describe it "Love Is Universal".And i so truly agree to that statement that love IS truly Universal and it happens to anyone and with any one!!You all should really read the above poem and understand it and u will know what the writer feels...
