"Somebody's coming to my house," Whispered the flowers in the lane; "Along the road where the wild gold flows Jack Frost is coming again." "Somebody's coming to my house," Cried the Sugar Maples so tall, "He cannot be found, but he's hiding around,— The fellow who paints us all." "Somebody's coming to my house," The Robin sang in time, As he packed his grip for a long, long trip Away to a sunny clime; "If it's frost and snow, I'd have you know, I'll have none of it for mine." "Somebody's coming to my house, Somebody grand and tall," Laughed the Golden Rod as she tossed her head, Down by the garden wall; "He will bring me a gown of velvet brown To wear at the Autumn Ball." "Somebody's coming to my house," Buzzed the Bee as she stored her bread; "I've no time now for playing, My family must be fed All through the days of snow and cold In the long dark winter ahead." "Somebody's coming to my house," Grandly the rows of corn Stood guard with waving plumes aloft Where the butterflies dance forlorn. "There's a chill in the air you can feel everywhere In the dew of the early morn." "Somebody's coming to my house," The Red Squirrel frisked his tail And hastened to gather his harvest again In the woods by the side of the trail; "My new fur coat will be needed soon, I've never known it to fail." "Somebody's coming to my house," Murmured the Brook in the vale, Where the laughing spray sings all the long day, As it dashes along the trail; "I must hasten away, if I'd safely be At rest tonight in the mother sea." "Somebody's coming to my house;" A man bowed his head of gray, And slowly the Curfew bells rang out At the close of an Autumn day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHAT WE SAID THE LIGHT SAID by JAMES GALVIN LORD ALCOHOL; SONG by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE STATUE AND THE BUST by ROBERT BROWNING SHELTERED GARDEN by HILDA DOOLITTLE ON CATULLUS by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR THE ORPHAN'S COMPLAINT by ANNABEL HANNA BANES |
