WHEN Autumn shakes the rambo-tree -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- The bird sings low as the bumblebee -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- The poor shote-pig he says, says he: "When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree There's enough for you and enough for me." -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard. For just two truant lads like we, When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree There's enough for you and enough for me -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard. When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- The mole digs out to peep and see -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- The dusk sags down, and the moon swings free, There's a far, lorn call, "Pig-gee! Pig-gee!" And two boys -- glad enough for three. -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard. For just two truant lads like we, When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree There's enough for you and enough for me -- It's a long, sweet way across the orchard. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV A BOY'S MOTHER by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY |
