Wlieu tlie Frost is on tlie Punkin. 
When the frost is on the .punkin and the fodder's in 
the shock. 
And you hear the kyouch and the gtsbble of the strut- 
tin' turkey cock. 
And the clackin' 1 of the gurneys and the cluckin' of 
the hens, 
And the rooster's hahylooyer as he tiptoes on the 
fence. 
O it's then the time a feller is a feelin' at his best 
With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of gra¬ 
cious rest 
As he leaves the house bareheaded and goes out to 
feed the Stock, 
When the frost is on the pun kin and the fodder's in 
the shock. 
They's a somepin kind o'-hearty b’ke about the at¬ 
mosphere, 
When the heat of Smmner's over and the coolin' 
Fall is here— 
Of course we miss the flowers aud the blossom on 
the trees. 
And the mumble of the hum min' birds and buxzin’ 
of the bees; 
But the air’s so appetizm', and the landscape 
through the hast* 
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the early autumn 
days 
Isa picture that no painter has the colorin’ to 
mock— 
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in 
the shock. 
The husky, rusty rustle of the tossels on the corn 
And the raspin’ of the tangled leaves, as golden as 
the morn: 
The stubble in the furries, kind o’lonesome like but 
still 
A preachin' sermons to us of the barns they growed 
to fill; 
The straw stack in the medder and the reaper in the 
shed; 
The hosses in the stalls below, the clover overhead 
© it sets my heart a clickin', like the tickin' of a 
clock 
When the fix.st is on the punkin and tlie fodder's in 
the shock.
