How I walked along,

Humming a song

Across the fields and down the lane

By the country road, and back again

To the dear old farm—three miles or more—

And brought you home from the village store.

Summer was passing—don't you recall

The splendid harvest we had that Fall,

And how when the Autumn died,—sober and brown,—

We trudged down the turnpike, and on to the town?
