In October I'll be host
to witches, goblins and a ghost.
I'll serve them chicken soup on toast.
Whoopy once whoopy twice
whoopy chicken soup
with rice.

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
