When the toil of day is over / And the dew is on the clover, / And the night-hawk whirls in circles overhead; / When the cow-bells melt and mingle / In a softened, silver jingle, / And the old hen calls the chickens in to bed; / When the marshy meadows glimmer / With a misty, purple shimmer, / And the twilight flush is changing into shade; / When the firefly lamps are burning / And the dusk to dark is turning, -- / Then the bullfrogs chant their evening serenade:

"Deep-deep, deep-deep, deep-deep, deep-deep! / Better go '_round! _ Better go '_round! _ Better go '_round,_"
