An Autumn Woolgathering

The  days lose their length
The trees turn to gold
In comes the cold
That is Autumns strength

Fruit still abundant
The evening still warm
The winds start to calm
Calendar redundant

Still take a long walk
The heat it has gone
Days later dawn
More time to talk

Autumn wears on
Soon it will go
Then you will know
Winter will come

So right at the end
Winds start again
The coldest of rain
Fallen leaves blend

Time marches on
The Winter is here
Can still be good cheer
Timepiece goes back

Clothing of wool
Keep the skin warm
Protect from the storm
Keep the cup full
