| love the autumn when the breezeS sigh.
Like loVelorn maidens, through the waving trees
When little brides chirp a last Soodby
Ana pull their freight toward the Southern seas
| love it for the Wig 'rous health IL brings,
The energy which all our souls doth Hood,
And we no more need saSSafraS and things
To knock impurities from out our blood
When not a pimpe comes to diSenhance
The smoothness of a maiden's countenance.
love the autumn when the leaves begin
To turn the color of the golden fawn
When fellows all the harder strive to win
Their girls for wives winter cometh on
When in the chaparTal the feathered grouse
Doth COVER at the hunters stealthy feet
And flies no longer buzz around The house
And get in things have prepared TO eat
When CHEEKY Bob Whites whistle in the WOOD
And flannel lingerie feels mighty good!
love the autumn when the breezes shake
The pointed needles from the solemn pines,
When clouds bunch up in masses. and then break
Away and through the Sits the warm sun SHINES
But paramount to all love II, for
True lovers then sit out in the dark
With no mosquitoes jimmin' round to mar
The sweet felicitation of the spark
An nothing strs the soul from top to bottom
With calm, complacent bliss like lovely autumn
