WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE PUNKIN
By James Whitcomb Riley:
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock,
And you hear the kyouek and gobble of the struttin’ turkey cock,
\nd the clackin’ of the guineys, and the cluckin' of the hens,
And the rooster's ballylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence;
O, it’s the times a feller is a feelin’ at his best,
With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
\.s he leaves the house, bare headed, and goes out to feed the stock.
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock.
They’s something kiudo’ liarty like about the atmusfere
When the beat of summer's over and the coolin’ fall is here —
Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossoms on the trees,
And the mumble of the hummin’ bin s and buz/.in' of the bees;
Bui the air's so appetizin’; and tin* landscape ihrough the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning ol the airly autumn days
Is a plctur’ that no painter has ihe colorin’ to mock —
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's hi the shock.
I he huskv, rusty russel of the tossels of the corn,
And the raspin’s of the tangled leaves, as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the lurries —kino' lonesome like, but still
A preachin’ sermuns to us of the barns they grower! to fill;
The strawstaek in the no mi- >. a> (I i he reaper in I he shed;
Toe bosses in tbeyi sta !« . ■— he ei,o . r overhead! —
(), it sets my heart a cli kin' like h> i iek in, ol a clock.
When the frost, is on ihe i uukm and the fi ddei'.s iu the shock.
Then your apples all is gathered, and the ones a feller keeps
Is poured around the eeller tloor in red and yeller heaps;
And your cider makin”s over, and your wimmen folks is through
With their mince and apple butler, and theyr souse mid sausage, :oo!
l don’t know how to tell it —but ef sieh a thing could be
As th»‘ Angels wantin' boardin', and they'd call around on me —
I'd want to ’commodate'em —all the whole indurin' flock —
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's In the shock.
