THE THRIFTY FARMER's SONG.
on TIE APPROACH OF WINTER
Cold winter dra ws near,
But care not fot that.
My potatoes are dug.
And my hogs Hre all fat;
My Wood is all up,
And my apples are in,
And my whent'S III the barn,
And my corE's in the bin.
Ny hays in the NOW,
And my hOr,es below,
Add have nothing to fear,
From The frost or the snow;
I'm ready, cold winter,
So come when you please,
And lei down your white sheets
u'er hills and the trees.
Bow, blow, bowling b0reas,
Wild DER The hills,
And pile up the snow drifts,
And freeze up the riilS;
care not how rudely
You rave through The trees;
I'm ready, cold winter,
So come when you please.
The poor may oil tremble,
The shi(lltss al; fear,
And dread dreary winters
Cold Grcary career;
But as for myself,
can sit al my ease,
And sing winter, cold winter
Just come when you please.
