From thy new life in realms sublime,
Waft us an inspiration, for the work of coming time!
THE HUSKING PARTY.
’Twas on a bright October day,
That young and old, with faces gay,
From city homes and country farms,
Went forth to taste the rustic charms
Of an old fashioned husking.
They came from near and far to see
What old time harvesting might be.
