The rooster stalks on the hangers ledge,
He has a tail like scimetar's edge,
A marshal's plume on his afghan neck,
An admirals stride on his quarterback;
He rules the roost and he walks the bay
With a dreadful cold and a Turkish way,
Two broadsides fires with his rapid wings
This sultan proud, of line of kings
One gutteral laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn!
The Saxon lambs in their wooden tabs
Are playing school with the a, b, abs; =
A. e! I, o! All the cattle spell
I'LL they make the blatant vowels tell,
And half-laugh Whitney fills the stalls
When down in the rack the clover falls
A dove is waltzing around his mate
Two chevrons black on his wings of sla.e,
And showing off with wooing note
The satin shine OF his golden throat
1t IL Ovid's "Art of Love" retoli
In binding fine of blue and gold!
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,
The no5er Helens of humber Troys-
As they stripped the husks with rustling fold
From eight-rowed corn as yellow as gold,
BY the candle-light in pumpkin bowls,
AMI the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tattooed tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
By the rarer light in girlish eyes
As dark as wells, or as blue as skies.
hear the laugh when the ear is red,
see the blush with the forfeit paid,
The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed,
And I see the fiddler through the dusk
As he twangs the ghost Of "Money Musk!
The boys and girls, in double row,
Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse Of the feet begin.
