The summer days are nearly Ger
Soon song birds will depart,
For southern lands where e'er more
The sun shine warns the heart.
Green leaves will soon turn yellow,
When Jack Frost com az around,
And the pumpkins will be mellow
AS they lay upon the ground.
As time goes on and seasons past,
We think Of days gone by and sigh;
We dream Of days to come, but alas
Future days so far away, yet SO
nigh.

They seemed to extend long, long way around each piece, and the more the quilt was pondered over, the more the ponderer wondered how many miles of just such fine sewing Mrs. Tucker had done.
