Little Wideawake: A story book for little children

by Mrs. Sale Barker

And when Autumn is dressing the wild wood

In raiment of scarlet and brown;

When Jack Frost comes to shake all the treetops,

Till the nuts and the acorns come down;

Then the squirrel’s rich harvest is welcome:

I gather a plentiful store.

You may know where my snug little house is,

By nuts that you see at my door.
