In the golden noon-shine, / Or in the pink of dawn; / In the silver moonshine, / Or when the moon is gone; / Open eyes, or drowsy lids, / 'Wake or 'most asleep, / I can hear the katydids,- / "Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!"
Only in the winter-time / Do they ever stop, / In the chip-and-splinter-time, / When the backlogs pop,- / Then it is, the kettle-lids, / While the sparkles leap, / Lisp like the katydids,- / "Cheep! Cheep! Cheep! "
