To “Pleasant Hill” they wend their way,

Where, in the autumn sunshine, lay

The golden corn, for husking.

With hearts brim full of mirth and glee

They fall to work, right cheerily;

And as they work, some slyly say,

“I wonder who will find to-day

The red ear, while we’re husking?”

And as the merry laugh goes round,

The hills are echoing to the sound.
