LITTLE STAR Twinkle twinkle little star, Up in the sky so far Will you shine your little light For my love and me, to-night And while we are planning too Build a cot. beneath the blue Will you sprinkle stardust bright On the plans, we make to-night In the chapel, down the lane Someday, I will change her name Will you peep through the window pane Little star so bright I hope you will light the way To my cot at close of day And you?ll guard it through the night With your little light so bright AN AUTUMN JUBILEE There?s a hustle, and bustle in the woodland and the vale And far across the meadow, down along the mountain trail Mother Nature is as busy, as a hive of honey bees For she?s painting up the woodland for an autumn jubilee I heard the birds rehearsing, a lovely serenade I saw the goldenrod in bloom, along the forest glade It will soon be Indian Summer, and the moon will change her glow She will make the whole world, mellow just before December?s snow. I can smell the sweet aroma, from the field of new mown hay I can hear, the cattle, lowing in the pasture o?er the way I can sec the shocks of fodder, and the golden pumpkins, too What happy recollections, these can bring back to you I can hear my mother calling, from the cottage by the hill I can see a row of homemade pies, cooling on the window-sill To me, autumn is a season, with a story to impart For it has a way of playing, on the strings of human hearts
