A Portrait of Autumn
A Portrait of Autumn
Beautiful the dying leaves
As they fall from autumn trees
Thick across the fertile ground
And as the wind blows them around
Beautiful the changing land
Captured like no canvas can
A song that’s sung since times of old
Brown and yellow, red and gold
Beautiful the fading lights
The silver glow of moonlit nights
The twinkling of starry skies
And Mother Nature’s lullabies
Beautiful the simple smile
Of a healthy sleeping child
Deep within an autumn dream
Of trick or treat and Halloween
