Transcription
Hail to the merry Autumn days, when yellow corn-fields shine,
Far brighter than the costly cup, that holds the monarch’s wine!
Hail to the merry harvest time, the gayest of the year,
The time of rich and bounteous crops, rejoicing, and good cheer!
‘Tis pleasant on a fine Spring morn, to see the buds expand,
‘Tis pleasant in the Summer time, to view the teeming land;
‘Tis pleasant on a Winter’s night, to crouch around the blaze,
But what are joys like these, my boys, to Autumn’s merry days!
Then hail to merry Autumn days, when yellow corn-fields shine,
Far brighter than the costly cup that holds the monarch’s wine!
And hail to merry harvest time, the gayest of the year,
The time of rich and bounteous crops, rejoicing, and good cheer!
