MARY:
I...

DICKON:
She...

MARY:
I'm a girl...

DICKON:
She is a lass,
As took a graidley fancy to thee.
Dost tha' fear?

MARY:
Tha' mun not fear.

DICKON:
She's took thee on
For like to vex thee.
Nowt o' the soart.

MARY:
Nowt o' the soart.

DICKON:
She knows fair well
She mun not fright thee.

MARY:
Canna tha' show me

DICKON:
Fair better to know her

MARY:
Show me tha' key.

DICKON:
Show her tha' key.
She's a lass and tha art' right,
As needs a spot where she can rest in.

MARY:
I mun sit, where i'll not be
So thinkin' thoughts or feel a guest in.

DICKON:
Nowt o' the soart.

MARY:
Nowt o' the soart.

DICKON:
See'd fair be watchin' for the spring.

MARY:
I'll not be climbin up, I'll only be callin'
Good morning, and fair low i'll sing.

DICKON: (spoken)
Well done, Mary.

ROSE: (spoken)
Lily, what are you looking for?

LILY: (spoken)
Wait 'til you see it.
It's the most beautiful garden
I ever ... and nobody knows
about it except Archie,
but the door is so covered over with ivy
that I can never find it.
Oh, wait, maybe it's on this other side.

MARY:
I'll only walk around as like to see it for mysel’.
If tha' canst 'low me visit
I'll speak low e'en to thysel'.
Tha'll not be pothered night
and day by wenches racin' round.
I'll but seem a silent dream,
standin' on the secret ground.

I'd but smell the growin' things, count
The roses 'gainst the wall.
Hear thy babes when first they peck,
Stretch my hand if they should fall.

Or if tha' likes, I'll bring thee seeds or
Worms all in a mound.
For if tha'll have me for a friend...
Tha'll be the first I've found.

MARY:
I'm a lass.  

DICKON:
A trusty lass.

MARY:
That took a graidley fancy to thee.
Canna tha' show me-

DICKON:
Fair well dost tha' know her...

MARY:
Show me tha' key.

MARY & DICKON:
Show me (her) tha' key.

DICKON: (spoken)
Well, then. I'm off, then.

MARY: (spoken)
But where are you going?

DICKON: (spoken)
I can't say.
But I'll see you tomorrow sure enough.
And if you need me before then,
well, now that you and robin is talking,
he always knows where I am.

MARY: (spoken)
But can't you help me look for the key?

DICKON: (spoken)
But that's why I'm leavin', Mary.
A body can't find a thing in a crowd.

MARY: (spoken)
All right, then. Bye.

DICKON:
And you'll be here to see it.
Stand and breathe it all the day.
Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it,
Spring ... I say.
