A DREAM OF WINTER.

Old cold days of winter comin',
 Don't it make you sorta sigh? FlCcks of blaGkbirds goin' bummin'
 Southward down cloudy sky. Autumn, while it's scrta cheerin',
 And mighty pretty sight, Still 1t hints Of winter nearins With a chopin ax in sight. Don't old winter keep you hoppin'r
 Poles so tough it seems to me I'm condemned to go on chopin
 Stove wood through eternity! Ever since I shucked my teeny
 Little baby hibs and sacks, Seems to me I've had the sweeny
 Just from swingip' that durned ax Just from swlngin' it, or haulin'
 some old crosS-cut through a log; Have it hang and stand there Iraulin'
 Iron wedges like a dog Still at that some fool'll trill of Rural joys and sweet content. Tell you what, I've had my fill of All sech idle merriment Old cold days of winter coruin' On you sure as age and death Naked cottonwoods a hummin' Till they pu=t nigh take your breath Autumn. while it's sorta cheerin', And a mighty pretty sight, Still it hints Of winter nearin' With that chopin ax in sight!
