Co’se it’s up in the sky whar ye’d reckon ’t ’ud be, Sort o’ balancin’ up the whole; Yew put ’em tergether in _this_ kind o’ weather An’ it’s eye-musick, pard, fer yer soul!

They’s a nawful sweet peece kind o’ hangin’ aroun’ An’ it’s great by this ’ere shock o’ stover Ter feel the ol’ Earth all set fer re-birth When the War an’ the Winter is over.
