NOVEMBER.
The flowers have with the swallows fled,
And silent is the cricket;
The red leaf rustles overhead,
The brown leaves fill the thicket.
And silent is the cricket;
The red leaf rustles overhead,
The brown leaves fill the thicket.
The mild October days are gone,
Sweet nutting-time, and kite-time;
With frost and storm comes slowly on
The year's long wintry night-time.
Sweet nutting-time, and kite-time;
With frost and storm comes slowly on
The year's long wintry night-time.
But while the mellow light departs,
The household draws together,
And ever warmer grow our hearts
As colder grows the weather.
The household draws together,
And ever warmer grow our hearts
As colder grows the weather.
