Along about Thanksglvln’ time, when all the leaves are down, And all the fruit’s been picked and all the hills are turnin’ brown, There’s somethin’ In the air that seems to stir your blood a bit. That makes you glad you’re in the world and that you’re pan of it; The song the wind goes singin* in the every green's sublime; There’s ginger in a man along about Thanksglvln' time. There’s somethin’ wonderful about the ice so thin and white Across the narrow little rut tliat dried up in the nigh* It’s crisscrossed in a hundred ways with streaks and veins and lines, And snarkh-s out like uiamonds when the sun spunks up and shines. And when you break it with your heel you couldn’t hardly tell Its rattle from the jingle of a little silver bell. 1 Along abtut Thanksglvln'time it seems, somehow, as though The sky was nearer to us than it was | awhile ago, And when it’s clear, how clear it is—the j crisp, fresh air. i mean! You’d almost think it blew through sievei > somewhere to make you clean. AOh, when it’s whiskin’ strong and free it’s | nothin' but a crime, To not get out and stir along about Thanksgivin’ time. I It’s almost like a miracle to see the Urst snow fly, To watch the million little chunks come dartin’ from the sky, To hear them bounce against the panes, to watch the wild things, tamed, Go tumblin’down to .melt as though they kind of felt ashamed; And when the darkness comes and lets the wind go murmuring, it’s like the swe>-t old lullabies our moth ers used to sing. Along about Thanksgivin' urne there’s somethin in the air That seems to make you brisk and strong, that kind of crimps your hair; You feel all ready for the storms you know you’ll have to meet: You're not afraid of anything that's walk in’ round on feet; And, lookin’"t it any wa' , the old earth's (|uito sublime. Although it’s hare and brown along about Thanksgivin’ time. — S. E. Kiser in Chicago I acord-Iierald. WORTH A KING’S RANSOM.
