For just a few short weeks must pats before 'tis Hallowe'en And not a pumpkin in the land must show a spot of green. All golden-bright esc!, ne must be before that night come round. So all the boys and girls can have a pumpkin ripe and soun i. The elves throughout the moon-lit hours trudge on from field to field To see that every pumpkin-vine its golden fruit will yield.
