An’ the sun ist shines! an’ shines!—

An’ th’ ole horse tosses his head an’ coughs

The frost back in our face.—

An’ I ruther go to my Gran’ma’s

Than any other place!

Over the river an’ through the wood

Now Gran’mother’s cap I spy:

Hurrah fer the fun!—Is the puddin’ done?—

Hurrah fer the punkin-pie!

An’ all the peoples they is in town
