[MARY]

[DICKON]

[MARY]
I'm a girl

[DICKON]
She is a lass as took a graidly 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 the key

[DICKON]
Show her the key
She's a lass and thou 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]
She'd fair be watchin' for the spring

[MARY]
I'll not be climbin' up
I'll only be callin' "Good mornin'"
And fair low I'll sing

[DICKON, spoken]
Well done, Mary!

[MARY]
I'll only walk around as like to see it for myself
If tha' canst 'low me visit
I'll speak low e'en to thyself
Tha'll not be bothered night and day
By wenches racin' 'round
I'll but seem a silent dream
Standin' on the secret ground
I'd but smell the growing things
Count the roses 'gainst the wall
Hear thy babes when first they peck
Stretch my hands if they should fall
Or if tha' likes, I'll bring thee seeds
Or worms all in a mound
For tha'll have me for a friend
Tha'll be the first I've found

I'm a lass

[DICKON]
A trusty lass

[MARY]
That took a graidly fancy to thee
Canna tha' show me?

[DICKON]
Fair well tha' dost know her

[MARY]
Show me the key
Show me the key

[DICKON]
Show her the key

(spoken)
Well, I'm off then.

[MARY, spoken]
Where are you going?

[DICKON, spoken]
Oh, I can't say. But I'll see thee tomorrow sure enough. And if you need me before then, well, now that you and Robin is talkin', 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

[MARY, spoken]
Oh no! Look what— What was that? Where did it... There it is! It's a key! It's the key to the garden! I found the key to the garden! It was right here! The door. But where's the door?

[MARTHA, spoken]
Mary Lennox!

[MARY, spoken]
Coming!
