Ah! On Tharicsgltjng Day,
When from Eairt and from Vi-ent,
From North end from Sonih
Cnme th-s Pilgrims an.) gnestr/
When the grey-lia r?d New H/ife'?andsr
Sfii around Lin hoard,
Th old broker, jinks of
Affections restored.
What moistens the tip,
And whut brighte 'in ti e eye,
What calls back the pact,
Like the good pumpkin pie?
0! fruit loved of boyhood,
The- old dry? wet ilirg.
When wood grape- were purpLng.
And brown nuts were falling!
When wild ugly faces,
Were carved in skin-:,
Gb;firing out thro’ the dark,
With a candle within!
When we langhc i ’round the corn
heap
With hearts all in time,
Ovr chair a broad pumpkin,
Our h.nt.crn the moon;
Tolling talcs of the fairy,
Who brawled 1 ke steam
To c nuwukin shea coach,
V/ith two rats'for her team!
Then thanks for tbv present!-
None svcetei or letter.
. A sriekt: :1 from an oven
Or circled a platter!
Fairer hands never wrought
A pastry mere tine,
Brighter eves never watched,
i O'er it.s baking than thine!
And the prayer, which nv mouth
i: too full to express,
f \ < 11s mv heart that thy
Shadow mav never be less.
\'
That the days of thy lot
May ! e lesgihened below,
And the fame of thy worth, <
Like & pumpkin vine grow;
And thy life he as sweet,
And its bi t sunset sky,
Gcld-tinted and fair,
As ti e old pumpkin-pie.
