When Autumn Comes

When Autumn Comes
4427

When Autumn comes
The schools commence,
The squirrel runs along the fence,
The crickets chirp, the wild bee hums,
The froggies croak, the partridge drums,

When Autumn comes
When Autumn comes,
Thanksgiving’s near,
With turkey, mince pie and good cheer,
The breath of Jack Frost chills and numbs,
But the fire burns bright, the kettle hums
When Autumn comes
