BEFORE A FINE OAK FIRE.

Who's talkiu' bout the summer time
When all the skies perspire?
Jest give me winter, brotherin',
An a fine oak fire!
The sleety rain a-comin' down
The wind a-howlin' higher
Than all the steeples In the town,
An me-before a fire,
With cider" settin' on the shelf
The brand most desire:
The blaze a-talkin' ter itself
The language O. the fire.
That's when the coldest winter might
A regular picnic seems,
The sparks a-flyin' left an right,
An me a-dreamin' dreams
That's when I'm eomfortaL.er than
/ am on summer days
When buds an blossoms bresh yer han
An vi'lets crowd the ways,
An when a feller's dreamin' so
His oil sweethearts come higher,
Love takes a seat an warns his feet
Before a fine oak fire!
