When the Frost Is on the Pumpkin By James Whitcomb Riley y When the frost in on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the shock. And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the strultin' turkey cock, and the clackin' of the guineas and cluckin’ of the hens. And the roosters hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence; Oh, it’s then's the times a feller is a-feelin’ at his best, With the risin sun to greet Hum from a night of peaceful rest, As he leaves the house, bareheaded, and goes out to feed the stock. When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock. There's something kinda’ harty-like about the atmosphere When the heat of summer's over and the coolin’ fall is here Of course we miss the flowers and the blossoms on the trees, And the mumble of the hummin' birds and the buzzin’ of the bees: But the air’s so appetizin and the landscape through the haze Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days Is a picture that no painter has the colorin' to mock— When the frost in on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock. The husky, rusty russel of the lassies of the corn And the raspin' of the tangled leaves, as golden as the morn. The stubble in the furries Undo’ lonesome-like but still A-preachin’ sermons to us of the barns they growed to fill. The straw stack in the meadow and the reaper in the shed The bosses in they're stalls below the clover overhead! Oh. it \ets my heart a chcken like the tickin' of a clock, When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock When your apples alt is gathered, and the ones a feller keeps Is poured around the cellar-floor in red and yellow heaps And your cider-makin's over, and your wimmer-folks is through With their mince and apple butler and their souse and sausage too! I don't know how to tell it but if such a thing could be As the angels wantin' boardin', and they'd call around on me — I'd want to 'commodate 'em all the whole-endurin’ flock. When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock.
