Yorkshire Lyrics.

Poems written in the dialect as spoken in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
To which are added a selection of Fugitive Verses not in the dialect.
By John Hartley,




Author of "Clock Almanack," "Yorkshire Puddin,"
"Yorkshire Tales" &c, &c,




"It has not been my lot to pore
O'er ancient tomes of Classic lore,
Or quaff Castalia's springs;
Yet sometimes the observant eye
May germs of poetry descry
In plain and common things."




London: W. Nicholson & Sons, Limited, 26, Paternoster Square, E. C.
and Albion Works, Wakefield.




Dedication.
To my dear daughter, Annie Sophie,
this collection of dialect verses is dedicated,
as a token of sincere love.
John Hartley. Christmas, 1898.
