WINTER IS COMING

by: Waverley Turner Carmichael

E winter days are drawin' nigh
An' by the fire I sets an' sigh;
De nothe'n win' is blowin' cold,
Like it done in days of old.

 

De yaller leafs are fallin' fas',
Fur summer days is been an' pas';
The air is blowin' mighty cold,
Like it done in days of old.

 

De frost is fallin' on de gras'
An' seem to say "Dis is yo' las'" --
De air is blowin' mighty cold
Like it done in days of old.
