Autumn's Song and Dance
A cold wind rattles my window
Under blankets I snuggle warm
The beautiful flowers sadly will bloom no more
Until the cold weather has gone
Merry still the birds that sing and dance
Now the trees lay down their emerald gowns
Silent flocks of birds fly away
Summer delight is over
On the ground the brittle leaves all lay
Nothing is green for it has turned to gold
Glittering, swirling, twirling in an Autumn dance
Around the fireplace at night we gather
Nights long with the sighing wind
Down the sun early
Dance the tumbling, trembling leaves
And the forest is crimson and golden
Naughty bandit squirrels steal things strange
Come dance the forest path with me
Everything is beautiful and changing magically
