Listen to poem:
The falling leaves
drift by our window
in autumn days, we now behold
We spend our time
with autumn flowers
and dry crisp leaves
of red and gold
Since we left our spring
the days grow short
and soon we'll hear old winter's song
But we'll miss the golden years of autumn
when winter snow comes along
From spring to fall
we both did follow
our youthful joys of long ago
and now with days
when leaves are falling
we face the time
of winter snow
Autumn days are short
and yet we know
a song of love for us still plays
Though we'll miss the golden years of autumn
our love will warm our winter days

I used the same Lyric form, number of syllables, and meter
as in the original lyrics displayed on the site as only two stanzas
(but I doubled the stanzas to four in my poem).
