Cracking Nuts.

When the snow is drifting, sitting
Through the ealess maple boughs,
And the saucy wind is lifting
All the latches in the house,
lsn't it fun, boys, to sit by the fire,
With all the good nuts that you can desire,
And Fanny or Kate
To fill up your plate
While tho hammer goes whack, whack, whack
At a rafting pace
On the fiat-irons face,
The hickory nuts TO crack.
When the red flames dancing, CHANGING
Up the sOOty chimney fire.
Seem like a summers lightning, lancing
Fleecy smoke-clou'is through and through
Isn't II fun, girls TO SIT IN the hight
OF such q bright fire on such rough night.
And find in the flame
Your fortune or manner
While the hammer goes whack, vhack, whack
AT a rafting pace
On the fiat-iron's face,
The hickory nuts to crack.
IN the armchair smoking, joking,
Grandpa tells us old time stories
How the Yankees, wanting no king,
Conquered George aud all his Toriesl
Oh isn't it fun, boys and girls, 10 know
That our grandfather lived so long ago,
And that he can tell
Old stories 80 well
While the hammer goes whack, whsok, whack
AT a rafting pace
On the hat-ton's face,
The hickory nuts to crack.
IL her armchair, nodding, plodding
With her needles, grandpa gees
Through the smoke-wreaths grandpa flooding
Our young eais with tales like these;
And oh boys, isn't IL fun 10 behold her,
Trying to set herself up for a scolder4
For that double chin
Won't let her begin
And now the old lady
Is laughing already
While the hammer goes whack, whsck, Whaek
AT a ratthng pace
On the lat-iron's lace,
The hickory nuts to crack.
Let the north wind rattle, battlei
Rake the tree-tops shake the DOORS
We will sing aud laugh aud pratJe
Where The CHEEKY hearth fire roars;
For, boys and girls, it IS fun to gsther,
On a stormy ulght, IN Wild winter weather,
Round the warm bright tide
OF the chimney-slde,
While the hammer goes whack, whack, whack
At a rafting pace
On the ilat.ron's face,
The hickory nuts TO crack.
