THE MELANCHOLY DAYS
“When the frost is on the pumpkin
And the corn is in the shock”
When folks attend the autumn Fairs
And walk around and talk;
When coal and wood and winter
Clothes our scanty purpose mock.
Then the frost is in our pocketbooks
And daddy’s in the shock.
The melancholy days have come, we couldn’t stand ‘em off
When everyone’s affected with a snuffle or a cough;
The winds are getting colder and everything is dear.
The melancholy days have come—
Confound ‘em-they are here!
[Assumed 1900]
