A Three-Part Song. Rudyard Kipling

I′m just in love with all these three,
The Weald and the Marsh and the Down country.
Nor I don′t know which I love the most,
The Weald or the Marsh or the white Chalk coast!

I′ve buried my heart in a ferny hill,
Twix′ a liddle low shaw an′ a great high gill.
Oh hop-bine yaller an′ wood-smoke blue,
I reckon you′ll keep her middling true!

I′ve loosed my mind for to out and run
On a Marsh that was old when Kings begun.
Oh Romney Level and Brenzett reeds,
I reckon you know what my mind needs!

I′ve given my soul to the Southdown grass,
And sheep-bells tinkled where you pass.
Oh Firle an′ Ditchling an′ sails at sea,
I reckon you keep my soul for me!
