Dow cubs add strips the beddow add the lawd,
Eved October’s suddy days are past—
Add Subber ’s gawd!
That stirs to sogg add sorrow, yet I trust
That still I sigg, but as the liddets sigg—
Because I bust.
By liggerigg feet—add fill by eyes with tears,
Ye bake be sad, add oh! it gars be greet
That ye are sear!
Do trees are greed but evergreeds add ferds;
Gawd are the orioles add bobligks—
Those Robert Burds!
To larded fields and tigkligg streablets eke;
Farewell to all articulated words
I faid would speak.
Greed glades add forest shades, farewell to you;
With sorrowigg heart I, wretched add forlord,
Bid you—achew!!!
