heres some work by my favourite dorset poet William Barnes
Blackmwore Maidens by WILIAM BARNES
The primwrose in the sheade do blow,
The cowslip in the zuin,
The rhyme upon the down do grow,
The clote where streams do run;
An' where do pretty maidens grow
An' blow, but where the tow'r
Do rise among the bricken tuns,
In Blackmwore by the Stour.
If you vrom Wimborne took your road,
To Stower or Paladore,
An' all the farmers' housen show'd
Their daughters at the door;
You'd cry to bachelors at hwome-
"Here, come: 'ithin an hour
You'll vind ten maidens to your mind,
In Blackmwore by the Stour."
An' if you look'd 'ithin their door,
To zee em in their pleace,
A-doen housework up avore
Their smilen mother's feace;
You'd cry-"Why, if a man would wive
An' thrive, 'ithout a dow'r,
Then let en look en out a wife,
In Blackmwore by the Stour."
