THE THREsHIEG MACHINE.
When the autumn days are hazy
And the crickets cease to sing,
When the files are nearly crazy
SO they bite most everything;
Then HE me to the country,
Mid the fields Of gold and green,
For love the dreamy music
or the hummlng thresh machine.
When the cobwebs are u flying
Tnrough the sunny autumn air.
And the poplar leaves are lying
GA the roadside everywhere;
Then hasten to the country,
Flowed and stubbe fields between,
For owe the soothing music
or the humming thresh' machine.
When the harvest days are over
And the grain is gathered in,
And the bees upon the clover
Seem to wear a sickly grin;
Then ramb,e through the country,
For the landscape Is SERENE
For love to hear the music
VI the humming thresh' machine.
When the western sun has vanished
From the sleepy autumn sky,
AND tue threshing hands are gathered
-, Round g3od-szed chcken-pie
lhen mingle with the farmers,
ANA l somehow crowd between,
For dearly love the music
Of the humming thtesh' machine.
