A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An brooks do sparkle in the zun, An naisy-builden rooks do vice Wi sticks toward their elem tree; When birds do zing, an we can zee Upon the boughs the buds ospring, Then Im as happy as a king, A-vield wi health an zunsheen. Vor then the cowslips hangen flow rA-wetted in the zunny show r, Do grow wi vi lets, sweet osmell, Bezide the wood-screen dgraegle sbell; Where drushes aggs, wi sky-blue shell, Do lie in mossy nest among The thorns, while they do zing their zong At evenen in the zunsheen. An God do meake his win to blow An ram to vail vor high an low, An bid his mornen zun to rise Vor all alike, an groun an skies Ha colors vor the poor mans eyes :A nin our trials He is near, To hear our mwoan an zee our tear, An turn our clouds to zunsheen.
